Former symphony musicians band together as San Antonio Philharmonic and announce a new season
First Baptist Church, where San Antonio Symphony musicians produced a three-concert series in the spring while they were on strike, will also be their home base as the San Antonio Philharmonic., the symphony's former musicians will be performing again with a new name and a familiar mission.
"We're the symphony for San Antonio," said bassoonists Brian Petkovich, president of the group, succinctly summing up the new venture's role.in September 2021 during a labor dispute with the Symphony Society of San Antonio, the nonprofit board that ran the orchestra. On June 16, the board announced that it had initiated Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings, which are ongoing. The orchestra, which had endured decades of financial turmoil, was shut down for good.
"Some people have, to their credit, found work at the last minute around the country and around the world, frankly. So we're down a little bit from where we were," he said."The people that are in town are really committed to making this work. And we’ll fill in with people as we need to to put on great concerts.
The spring concerts demonstrated that it is possible for the musicians to produce performances on their own, said Aaron Hufty, associate pastor of worship and music at First Baptist and a philharmonic board member.
