Young musicians learn to 'aim for the highest level' with Cactus Pear For the past three weeks, these young musicians have been going to work every day with an intense study of chamber music alongside professional musicians. It all culminates in a free concert this Friday evening.

A lifetime of genius, captured in a single afternoon. Join us for the 2026/27 Camerata Recital, featuring The Complete Cello Sonatas. In three beautifully paced chapters, you’ll witness Beethoven’s entire life story unfold through the voice of the cello, from the rebellious, rule-breaking energy of his youth to the profound, cosmic depths of his final years. It’s an epic, up-close journey you won't want to miss.

🎟️ Season Subscriptions AND individual tickets are available now at cameratasa.org/tickets.

Student tickets are FREE all season long with the generous support of the San Antonio Symphony League & Belle Program.
