Thanks, Torchlight. I lived in SA during the late 80s/early 90s & actually worked for the symphony. We brought in many first class acts in both the classical world & pops. I know the symphony has had some very rough patches the last few years. I know when I was there, it was often a struggle financially for the orchestra to stay afloat. I've worked with both Houston & Dallas symphonies as well and it's evident that those orchestra benefit from the wealth & size of their respective cities & patrons. I worked so much that I never really did get to enjoy the museums or other performing arts in SA. It's good to know that the McNay & SAMA are alive & well. Would anyone happen to know if there is emphasis on bringing the arts or a performing arts center out towards the 'burbs? Or is SA still too small for that?

Of all the discussions/debates on this thread, the comment that caught my eye was this one. Since my husband and I are considering a move to SA, could you please elaborate? We were both in the entertainment industry (he - sound engineer; me - orchestra management & road manager) so some kind of access to the performing arts would be nice. It's not necessary (been there done that) but I know the arts can shape a city for the better. Thanks.
