Season 16

Caffeinated Concerts

July 5 - 15, 2012

San Antonio

New Braunfels

Boerne

Why is this Festival only two weeks long? Summer  temperatures over 100 degrees last for week after week after week…can't we make new rule? As long as it is over 100 degrees in San Antonio, the Cactus Pear Music Festival MUST keep playing!"

Jack Fishman, President & CEO, San Antonio Symphony [quote from 2011]

The 16th season of Cactus Pear is around the corner. I have the programs planned and the world-class artists ticketed and ready to fly our way come July.

 

The name Caffeinated Concerts should give you a good idea of the high energy we're expecting to generate this summer. We are super charged as we get ready for summer 2012. With Jeffrey Sykes' 21st century translation of JS Bach's humorous Coffee Cantata, Mendelssohn's high octaine String Octet, and the 8 Seasons line-up of Vivaldi and Piazzolla—with a sprinkle of Premo, this season's libations will be served to perfection. For the 16th Festival, we've even added a 5th program featuring the piping hot Brasil Guitar Duo, who will serve up a program of traditional and Brazilian repertoire. So, now, for the first time you can order a 5-ticket season subscription for just $100 before July 1. It's a great deal for such world-class offerings. Order tickets from our "Season" page or go to the ticket order page from the bottom "Tickets" link on any of our web pages.

 

And active military: check out our subscription and single ticket discounts. You deserve it!

 

Take a look at the season line up. If in the meantime you are hankering for some of our caffeinated performances, go to our CD page and take a listen for offerings that just might tide you over for the next few months. We look forward to seeing you in July!
