The San Antonio Philharmonic, which was born from the ashes of the San Antonio Symphony in 2022 with some of the same musicians, saw the City of San Antonio and Bexar County set aside a combined $411,000 for its benefit.

However, Wood said after he agreed to an interest-free $45,000 loan in June for an orchestra shell — a surface that reflects sound toward the audience — Treviño “unilaterally stopped responding to Board members, disabled all their email accounts and removed their names from the Philharmonic’s website.”
The lawsuit also covers a $150,000 forgivable loan from Sept. 2022, which was secured with the orchestra’s instruments and the music library as collateral. “We hope that we can settle this quickly and amicably and ensure that the assets remain here and available for musicians throughout the community,” Holt said in a phone interview with KSAT on Friday.
Bexar County included $300,000 for the Philharmonic in its 2025 fiscal year budget vote on Sept. 10. It’s the same amount the orchestra received from the county general fund in the 2024 fiscal year.
