For last year’s inaugural Make Music San Antonio, musical communities from hip hop to opera to mariachi came out to showcase their artistry in 40 free concerts, while every San Antonian got the chance to make music with drum circles, a sing-along, karaoke, and a special performance of Terry Riley’s “In C”. It was a spectacular debut, organized by the city’s Department of Arts & Culture and Texas Public Radio.
This year’s captivating program includes interactive workshops at the banks of the blossoming San Pedro Creek, over a dozen performances at the San Antonio Botanical Garden in partnership with Alamo City Arts, live music at historic Main Plaza, and performances from the Classical Music Institutes and OPERA San Antonio’s Young Artist Program.
