Under the baton of guest conductor José Luis Gómez, Summer Tales launches the 210 Festival - The Orchestra San Antonio’s signature summer celebration - inviting the audience to embark on a journey not by planes or trains, but through the music and imagination of summer adventures. The evening is full of familiar melodies - they are journeys full of color, tension, rhythm, and romance.

Summer Tales is a musical escape filled with passion, power, and storytelling. The Orchestra San Antonio will welcome rising star and cellist Cameron Renshaw in an epic showcase of talent.

Selections include Bizet's Selections from Carmen Suite No.1 and No 2, Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op.33, TH 57 (original version), and Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, op.35.

Attendees are welcome to join early one hour before the concert in the Feik Family Rotunda for a lively pre-concert discussion with guest artists, where they can gain unique insights into the music, the creative process, and what to listen for as the evening unfolds.
