The San Antonio Philharmonic has signed a two-year contract with members of the American Federation of Musicians Local 23. Executive director and CEO Roberto Trevino praised the dedication of the 120 musicians, many of whom are former members of the defunct San Antonio Symphony.
Jeffrey Kahane, the music director of the Philharmonic, issued a statement on behalf of its members: “I extend my heartfelt congratulations as the music director, and I am excited to be a part of a vibrant and supportive environment for our musicians while empowering the orchestra with renewed confidence.”
Trevino said the agreement is a « great compromise » for better wages and includes paid sick leave.
