YOSA Zachry Series
The 2024/25 YOSA Philharmonic season is packed with incredible musical selections and special guest performances, along with rotating YOSA Orchestras opening each performance. This year, we've added an extra holiday concert to make the season extra bright.
A Holiday Spectacular I Saturday, December 21, 2024
Join the YOSA Philharmonic, YOSA Mariachi, and the Children's Chorus of San Antonio (CCSA) for an evening filled with classic Christmas songs and other holiday favorites in “A Holiday Spectacular.” From lively orchestral arrangements to poignant choral pieces, this festive concert is the perfect way to enjoy the holiday season, so gather your friends and family for a night of music and merriment! Keep the family fun going in the Tobin Center lobby with festive activities and hot cocoa available for purchase.
Carmina Burana I Sunday, March 2, 2025
The YOSA Philharmonic proudly presents a full performance of Carl Orff's “Carmina Burana” with the San Antonio Mastersingers. Known for its thunderous rhythms and soaring melodies, Orff’s raucous setting of 24 medieval poems engages with themes of love, life, and fate with satirical undertones. Experience the raw emotion and energy of this powerful choral work live and in its entirety. YOSA Repertory Strings will open the show.
Firebird Dance I Sunday, May 11, 2025
The season finale “Firebird Dance” culminates in Stravinsky’s “The Firebird,” a fairytale ballet based on Russian folklore, featuring the remarkable young dancers of San Antonio Youth Ballet. The YOSA 2024/25 Concerto Competition winner will perform as soloist, and YOSA Prelude Strings, the youngest YOSA musicians, will open this evening of dance and fantasy.
