In its thirteenth season, the Cactus Pear Music Festival features four different programs from July 9-19. The chamber music festival was founded by Stephanie Sant'Ambrogio, former concertmaster of the San Antonio Symphony; she wanted to fill the classical music void left when the Symphony went on its summer hiatus.
This year's schedule features 16 artists (including Sant'Ambrogio) and works by Haydn, Mendelssohn, Bach, and Ravel. This year's concerts:
- Thursday, July 9, Travis Park United Methodist Church, 7:30pm
- Friday, July 10, New Braunfels Presbyterian Church, 7:00pm
- Saturday, July 11, Travis Park United Methodist Church, 7:30pm
- Sunday, July 12, First Presbyterian Church (New Braunfels), 2:30pm
- Wednesday, July 15, First United Methodist Church (Boerne), 7:00pm
- Thursday, July 16, Travis Park United Methodist Church, 7:30pm
- Saturday, July 18, Travis Park United Methodist Church, 7:30pm
- Sunday, July 19, First United Methodist Church (Boerne), 2:00pm
Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students, and $70 for season tickets.
CPMF also sponsors a Young Artists Program, where young musicians spend two weeks learning from professionals.
You can order CDs from past seasons on their website.
