Children's Concert Series

One of the Mid-Texas Symphony's proudest contributions to the community is the presentation of the Children's Concert Series which is held each year. Thousands of students from Comal and Guadalupe Counties are bused to the concert venue where they hear the Mid-Texas Symphony perform just for them. And with the help of generous supporters, it is all done at no cost to the children.

Young Artist Competition

The Mid-Texas Symphony periodically sponsors a Young Artist Competition. This year's competition will be in Voice and will be held in the Spring of 2009. The winner will receive a cash prize and a contract to perform with the Mid-Texas Symphony.

The competition serves many purposes. It gives university students the chance to perform with a symphony orchestra, and it helps the Mid-Texas Symphony fulfill one of its major goals - the promotion of classical music among young people.

String Lessons

For years the Mid-Texas Symphony has sponsored string lessons for young violin students in the Seguin and New Braunfels area. Lessons are offered after school at a reasonable cost.

Music Memory

The Music Memory Competition serves as another way for the Mid-Texas Symphony to introduce classical music to our young people. Through their music classes, students are introduced to classical composers and the music they have written. In the spring, they gather for a competition to see who has remembered the most about what they have learned. Prizes are awarded to the winners.
