“It is a special gift, but we’re not entitled to anything,” Montalvo said during a Wednesday festival preview event for members of the media. “We have to prove ourselves every year.”CMI started as the Chamber Orchestra San Antonio when the Tobin Center opened in 2014, under the artistic directorship of Montalvo,. The group rebranded as the Classical Music Institute in 2016 to further its educational mission, running an annual summer program for Bexar County youths.
In the same news release, Montalvo said, “It’s a historic day for CMI,” citing the sponsorship as the largest single-donor gift in his organization’s 10-year history. “We are honored by this amazing gift and Frost Bank’s trust in CMI’s mission of performance serving education.” The Saturday 10 a.m. free community concert will take place at the Village at Incarnate Word, followed by a 2 p.m. concert at Blue Skies of Texas East. The tour continues June 15 with a 10:30 a.m. concert at the Army Residence Community and a 2 p.m. concert at Blue Skies of Texas West.
