With the funding, the Classical Music Institute would replace the former San Antonio Symphony as orchestra for Opera San Antonio and Ballet San Antonio performances at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts.
“In this particular case, I don’t know that the dignity of workers will be justified” if the county funds a non-union company rather than the Philharmonic, Thompson said.
“This is such an important vote,” Treviño said. “We ask that this vote not divide arts organizations, but unite them.” He pointed out that the court has not received funding requests from the Philharmonic, but expressed support for the organization and indicated that the potential for future support exists should such a request be made.“One of the major things that attracted me to follow Montalvo is the fact all of the leadership for that organization is Hispanic.
Montalvo said the proposal was part of CMI’s four-year growth plan, which includes a proposal for matching funds from the City of San Antonio to double the county’s funding over a two-year period.
