Bexar County Commissioner’s Court has granted funding to the San Antonio Philharmonic and the Classical Music Institute.
“It’s a historic day,” said San Antonio Philharmonic President Brian Petkovich, acknowledging not only the help for his organization’s first season as an independent orchestra but Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff’s substantial support for symphonic music in San Antonio during his decades-long tenure in city and county government.Our dedicated reporters deliver in-depth, trustworthy local news about San Antonio every day.
The $225,000 grant to the Classical Music Institute was approved on the Commissioners Court’s consent agenda, meaning the item passed without discussion. The grant could be considered Wolff’s last gesture to the performing arts community, described in the budget request as a “budgeted expense within the Non-Departmental Budget for Contributions to Other Agencies,” and leaves “$0 remaining to be allocated” from that fund.
The San Antonio Philharmonic evolved from the remnants of the defunct San Antonio Symphony, a Tobin Center resident company that formerly handled orchestra duties for opera and ballet productions.
