The new San Antonio Philharmonic will open its first concert season Sept. 16-17 with a program including local composer Ethan Wickman.
Westney said the fledgling SA Phil benefited from goodwill on the part of many musicians, soloists and conductors who reached out to offer support, including Canadian pianist Jon Kimura Parker, whom Westney called a “superstar.” Parker will be featured in the final concert of the season conducted by Fujimoto May 26-27.
“I try not to have any hard feelings about anything,” said Petkovich, drawing on his experience as one individual musician attentive to harmonizing with those around him. The musicians remain members of the American Federation of Musicians union Local 23, working on single engagement contracts with the question of establishing a new collective bargaining agreement left for a later date.
Just being onstage regularly in performance is meant to be the spur for a community-wide conversation on the viability of a full-time orchestra in San Antonio, he said.
