17 EXCEPTIONAL Artists
San Antonio Express-News former senior art critic Mike Greenberg named Cactus Pear in his top 10 for classical music in 2007, writing "Stephanie Sant'Ambrogio's annual summer bash would be an ornament in any world city."
In July 2009 on his "Incident Light" website, Mike wrote, "Attending a festival concert, at the highest levels, is like eavesdropping on a freewheeling dinner-party conversation among really interesting guests...[T]he 13th annual Cactus Pear Music Festival...was a case in point, but there’s no surprise in that."
2010 was no exception for excellence and high praise. David Hendricks of the San Antonio Express-News named CPMF one of "The Best in Classical Music" for the past year writing: "The opening concert of the 14th annual Cactus Pear Music Festival in July temporarily broke the summer drought of serious music."
We look forward to our 15th and seeing you at our concerts--all starting at 7pm this season.
