Belle Program
One of our signature events supporting classical music in San Antonio
Join the Belle Program
The Belle Program is one of the San Antonio Symphony League's most cherished traditions. Each year, young women participate in this program that culminates in the elegant Belle Ball, one of San Antonio's premier social events.
The program provides opportunities for community service, cultural enrichment, and social development while supporting the Symphony League's mission to promote classical music.
Paint to Music
A unique program combining visual arts with classical music education
Paint to Music is an innovative educational program where students create visual art inspired by classical music performances. This program bridges the gap between auditory and visual arts, helping students express their interpretation of music through painting.
Help us with a new Education Project!
Donate instruments you are no longer using to the League so the music can live again!
The San Antonio Symphony League will give these instruments to local schools to expand and enhance their music programs.
UPDATE!
We have made five deliveries to Edgewood ISD as well as one to Brennan High School. Thank you donors!
Your donated instruments help young musicians pursue their passion for music when their families cannot afford to purchase or rent instruments. Instruments are refurbished as needed and distributed to students through partnerships with local schools and music programs.
FREE STUDENT CONCERTS
The San Antonio Symphony League and Agarita present free student concerts throughout the school year.
These educational concerts provide students with the opportunity to experience live orchestral music in an intimate setting. The programs are specially designed to engage young audiences and introduce them to the magic of classical music.
Each concert includes interactive elements and educational components that help students understand the instruments, music, and stories behind the compositions.
