The South Texas Symphonic Orchestra and the San Antonio Youth Ballet will be performing "The Nutcracker" this December.

Professional and pro-level symphonic orchestras are gaining momentum as they travel to reach audiences beyond traditional music halls.

Members of the now dissolved San Antonio Symphony Society continue to perform and have a new mission through their nonprofit organization to secure a future for an orchestra in the community.

The Brandeis High School orchestra brought home first place honors from the National Orchestra Cup over the weekend, marking a first for a school in San Antonio.
