The 60 member group, which has been conducted by Maestro David Mairs for the last thirteen years, performs six concerts yearly – three each in Seguin and New Braunfels. Since its inception in 1978, the orchestra has hosted numerous national and international guest artists, including Pepe Romero and Jeffrey Biegel in 2007. While concerts feature primarily classical music, the Mid-Texas Symphony also performs a “pops” concert in May.
