Courtesy of Beethoven Maennerchor Archives Towards the end of the Republic of Texas and in the early days of statehood, German settlers began arriving at the Ports of Galveston and Indianola. They were coming to Texas largely because of promises made to them for a better political and economic life by the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas, the Adelsverein. The Adelsverein was an organization formed in 1842 by German noblemen who wanted to create prosperous new settlements in what is now central Texas.1 The first group of German settlers to arrive under the auspices of the Adelsverein was led by Prince Carl of Solms- Braunfels. On March 21, 1845, the Adelsverein established its first community in central Texas and named it “New Braunfels” in honor of the Prince’s estate Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2003 1 Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 3 [2003], Iss. 2, Art. 4 Celebrating “Das Deutsche Lied” in Texas in “Das Deutsche Lied” Celebrating Painting of Germania Gesangverein Neu Braunfels,Texas, courtesy of RABA Studio and Beethoven Maennerchor Archives The first year in the new homeland was tenuous.

Knight Foundation INSIDE THE CULTURAL Consumer’s Mind Classical Music Consumer Segmentation Study Final Report FINAL REPORT Classical Music Consumer Segmentation Study How Americans Relate to Classical Music and Their Local Orchestras October 2002 Commissioned by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and 15 American Orchestras: Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra Charlotte Symphony Orchestra Colorado Symphony Association Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra Kansas City Symphony Long Beach Symphony Association Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra New World Symphony Oregon Symphony Association The Philadelphia Orchestra Association Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Symphony Society of San Antonio Wichita Symphony Society © 2002 Audience Insight LLC Page 1 Classical Music Consumer Segmentation Study Final Report ABOUT The Study Abstract Orchestras are adrift in a sea of classical music consumers who rarely, if ever, attend live orchestra concerts. With more than 25,000 interviews with potential classical consumers and orchestra ticket buyers in 15 cities, the Classical Music Consumer Segmentation Study offers a sweeping view of an art form in transition and an orchestra field increasingly detached from its potential customers. The study paints a detailed picture of how consumers fit classical music into their lives — listening to classical radio and recordings in their automobiles and homes, and attending live concerts in churches, schools and traditional concert venues. Roughly 10 percent to 15 percent of Americans have what might be termed a close or moderately close relationship with classical music, and again as many have weaker ties.

  • The Public Theater of San Antonio Executive Artistic Director
    The Public Theater of San Antonio Executive Artistic Director San Antonio’s Theater for All Organization The Public Theater of San Antonio (The Public) is San Antonio’s largest producing theater, currently celebrating its 109th consecutive year of production. Its mission is to produce professional live theater that inspires, educates, and connects communities. The Public presents high-quality theatrical productions year-round and is an important artistic leader in the City of San Antonio’s cultural landscape. Its stated goal is to be a ‘Theater for All,’ where residents of San Antonio can all feel welcome in the space and comfortable engaging with the artists and the art. The Public’s direction moving forward is to maintain and improve upon its role as San Antonio’s flagship theater while creating a stronger collaborative and supportive culture, both internally and with the San Antonio community. The Public’s history traces back to 1912 when Sara Barton Bindley, a resident of San Antonio, established the San Antonio Dramatic Club. The early years of the twentieth century saw the emergence of the little theater movement in the United States. As the movement flourished across the nation, civic leaders of San Antonio formally incorporated as the Little Theater Production Company of San Antonio in 1927, updated legally to the San Antonio Little Theatre, Inc. in 1962. During the early years under the direction of Carl Glick, the productions were held across the city in places like the Menger Hotel and Beethoven Hall. The organization’s leadership eventually petitioned the City for a permanent location and on January 22, 1930, the San Pedro Playhouse opened as the first city-built, city- funded theater in the United States.

Mozart’s single piece of correspondence concerning the mass only adds to the mystery. In a letter dated January 14, 1783, to his father Leopold, Mozart wrote elliptically that “the score of half of a mass, which is still lying here waiting to be finished, is the best proof that I really made the promise.” While the promise Mozart alluded to in the letter has traditionally been interpreted as an olive branch to his father, who had not approved of Mozart’s recent marriage, or as an ode of thanksgiving to his wife Constanze, recent research hints that Mozart had promised his father that he would reconcile with Archbishop Colloredo.

  • The Society for American Music
    The Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 1 RIDERS IN THE SKY 2008 Honorary Members Riders In The Sky are truly exceptional. By definition, empirical data, and critical acclaim, they stand “hats & shoulders” above the rest of the purveyors of C & W – “Comedy & Western!” For thirty years Riders In The Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the genre. And while remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life “The Cowboy Way!” 2 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 3 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference Hosted by Trinity University 27 February - 2 March 2008 San Antonio, Texas 2 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 3 4 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 5 Welcome to the 34th annual conference of the Society for American Music! This wonderful meeting is a historic watershed for our Society as we explore the musics of our neighbors to the South. Our honorary member this year is the award-winning group, Riders In The Sky, who will join the San Antonio Symphony for an unusual concert of American music (and comedy). We will undoubtedly have many new members attending this conference. I hope you will welcome them and make them feel “at home.” That’s what SAM is about!
