San Antonio Symphony I EDUCATION The San Antonio Symphony’s education initiatives strive to establish lifelong learning for all ages and segments of our diverse community by promoting the enjoyment, understanding, and appreciation of symphonic music. Each season, we engage over 50,000 students through meaningful education programming, including our Young People’s Concerts, Open Rehearsals for Students, High School Residency Program and more. YOUNG PEOPLE’S CONCERTS The San Antonio Symphony is proud to have one of the longest-running Young People’s Concert programs in the country. These 45-minute, school-day field trip performances have introduced area youth to live symphonic music since the 1940s. Programs are geared to grades 3-5 and designed to align with state teaching objectives for the Fine Arts and a rotating core subject area. Along with teaching materials and docent presentations provided in advance, these unique, multi-sensory presentations combine engaging symphonic music, visual enhancements, guest artistry, interactive components, and carefully-planned lecture to create meaningful student experiences that frequently sell out and consistently receive high ratings from attending teachers. • 28 performances, including at the Tobin Center and at 6 locations in area school districts • Over 100 classroom visits by docents and musicians • Over 37,000 students attending with 60% coming from Title 1 schools • Transportation assistance to over 125 schools and 27,000 students The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts is a Presenting Partner OPEN REHEARSALS FOR STUDENTS Select Friday-morning dress rehearsals at the Tobin Center are open to school groups of middle school age and above at no cost. Students are given access to a unique, behind-the-scenes opportunity to witness first-hand how a professional ensemble rehearses. They do this while experiencing our Symphony and world-class guest artists up close with state-of-the-art acoustics. • Access for up to 11,000 students to experience our Symphony and Classic Series repertoire • Post-rehearsal “Talk Back” and Q&A with Music Director or a guest artist • On-screen visual enhancements, including live close-ups of musicians on stage ADDITIONAL EDUCATION INITIATIVES • High School Residency Program provides ongoing instruction and strong mentoring relationships to support band, orchestra and mariachi students’ musical aspirations. • G6-8 Discovery Concerts create additional access for middle school students to experience the Symphony in presentations specifically tailored for grades 6-8. • Up to 120 “Free Student Group Tickets” to each of our Classics Concerts are available to Bexar County public middle and high school groups. • Family Concerts expose children ages 4-11 to symphonic music through interactive performances and pre-concert activities. • San Antonio Public Library children’s musician presentations (“Symphony at SAPL”) provide greater access to the community with mini-concerts at 30 library branches throughout the city. It is our goal to cultivate the next generation of arts enthusiasts and to provide children in our community with multi-faceted, arts-engagement activities that will enrich and empower their lives.

The season 2019-20 starts with returns to the Tivoli Festival in Copenhagen, a recording of Mozart piano concerti in Odense with Anne-Marie McDermott. He will also return to the Korean National Opera for a new production of “The tales of Hoffmann”. 2018-19 season marked Lang-Lessing debuts with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec and Odense Symfoniorkester, and returns to the Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock, Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy, and an immediate re-invitation with the Korean National Opera conducting Guillaume Tell. Lang-Lessing was Chief Conductor of the Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy and Artistic Director of the Nancy Opera, which, under his direction, was promoted to Opéra National de Lorraine. From 2004 until 2011, Mr. Lang-Lessing was Music Director of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, which grew to become one of the leading orchestras in the Pacific Rim. With this orchestra, Sebastian Lang-Lessing built a comprehensive, award-winning discography, especially of Classical and Romantic repertoire. He appears regularly as guest conductor with leading French orchestras including the symphony orchestras of Bordeaux and Toulouse, as well as with leading orchestras in North America such as the Vancouver, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee Symphonies, and European orchestras including regular appearances with the Copenhagen Philharmonic and the symphony orchestras of Gran Canaria, Malaga, and Palermo. Lang-Lessing, who received the Ferenc Fricsay Award when he was twenty-four years old, began his career at the Hamburg State Opera. Based on Sebastian’s work as assistant conductor to Gerd Albrecht in Hamburg, legendary stage director and opera manager Götz Friedrich engaged him as Resident Conductor at Deutsche Oper Berlin. Today, Sebastian Lang- Lessing regularly appears with the leading opera companies of the world, including those in Paris, Hamburg, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, Oslo, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. His operatic repertoire is exceptionally wide, with seventy-five works ranging from Baroque to contemporary opera. Maestro Lang-Lessing led the Philharmonia Orchestra in the 2013 recording performance for Renée Fleming’s Guilty Pleasures album (Decca). Other notable recordings have included the complete symphonies of Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Schumann with the Tasmanian Symphony, and the sensational re-discovery of the works of Joseph-Guy Ropartz with the Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy. Late 2017 saw the release of the DVD of his critically acclaimed production of Der Rosenkavalier from the NCPA in Beijing, and of a Christmas CD with Pavel Sporcl and the Royal Liverpool Orchestra. Lang-Lessing has been at the forefront of educational programming for classical music with a younger audience, an area in which he has shown great passion and commitment with orchestras throughout the world.

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.

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 interview took place in Los Angeles, California, and was conducted by Jeffrey Rangel for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview G: Gronk JR: Jeffrey Rangel [Session 1] JR: Okay, this is an interview for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, with Gronk. Today is January 20, 1997, at the artist’s studio in downtown Los Angeles. The interviewer is Jeff Rangel and we’re ready to get started. G: Okay, good. JR: Welcome. G: Thank you. JR: Like I said, normally we like to start out with any recollections about family and kind of where you grew up, where your family was from, things of that nature. G: Okay. My parents were both born here in Los Angeles, and my grandparents came from Mexico. I grew up, basically, with a single parent, my mother. I grew up in East Los Angeles. Early on—at five years old—I can remember that the things that I did best was to make things. And those were the most exciting times, I believe —when somebody gave me a pencil and a sheet of paper—was to create a world for myself, basically.
