The San Antonio Symphony League champions classical music by actively supporting live performances, funding local nonprofit music organizations, and creating educational programs across Bexar County since 1950. Through events like the annual Belle Ball, instrument donation programs and hands-on involvement in youth concerts, we bring music to life for our community - preserving its legacy and inspiring the next generation.
