The Orchestra
Est. 1944
The San Antonio Philharmonic is committed to building a strong arts environment for our entire community. At the heart of that are the professional musicians, your friends and neighbors, who live and work in San Antonio.
Jeffrey Kahane
MUSIC DIRECTOR
“I believe that the most important task of any orchestra in our time is to be a genuine instrument of community - meaning both a musical instrument that serves its community in many different ways, and an instrument for building, nourishing, and broadening the experience of community through the immense power of the shared experience of music. Although striving for the highest artistic standards is critical and central to our mission, we deeply believe that our commitment to being of service to the entire city of San Antonio and its environs is every bit as important.”
Felipe Tristán
ASSOCIATE CONDUCTOR
“I'm honored to join the San Antonio Philharmonic as Associate Conductor. This is a wonderful orchestra with world-class musicians and an exciting vision. From my first appearance as guest conductor with the SA Phil, I was struck by the musicians' artistry and I'm thrilled to now continue this collaboration in a more permanent role. As a Mexican-American musician, I'm especially proud to contribute to an institution that reflects the spirit of this city – a place where a rich history meets innovation. I look forward to engaging with the community, celebrating its diversity, and creating performances that feel meaningful, inclusive, and alive for everyone.
I'm especially grateful to Executive Director and CEO Roberto Treviño, Music Director Jeffrey Kahane, and Chief Operations Officer Brian Petkovich for their inspiring leadership and for welcoming me so warmly.”
