Straight up, With a Twist

After last night’s performance, a group of musicians and the conductor and soloist headed off to a special event held at Drink, a coffee and wine bar located at the corner of Navarro and Market Street in downtown San Antonio. It was the first of four events held specifically

for young professionals. It is a way for the audience to meet musicians, conductors, and soloists in a casual environment only a few blocks away from the Majestic Theater. We hope that you will visit the symphony’s website to check for the second of the four events. Here are a few pictures from the gathering.

The second photo is of Ertan Torgul, Amanda Stewart, and Ilya Shterenberg. Ilya is pointing to his name tag because he switched tags with Stephanie Key…those crazy clarinetists.

In the third photo, Stephanie Key (notice the name tag) Alexander Mickelthwate, and Amanda Stewart strike a pose.

The last photo is of conductor Alexander Mickelthwate and pianist Awadagin Pratt (soloist on Friday and Saturday’s concerts).
