September 2, 2010 · Next month, the San Antonio Symphony welcomes Sebastian Lang-Lessing as it's ninth music director, ushering a new era of world-class musical leadership for the organization. Lang-Lessing makes his debut in the Symphony's October 2 opener with a program that includes Gustav Mahler's "Titan."

Internationally-renowned for his work on the concert stage, the German-born Lang-Lessing has led performances with major orchestras across the globe, from Tokyo to France.

As music director of the San Antonio Symphony, Maestro Lang-Lessing will be a major presence in the community conducting the vast majority of subscription concerts, additional special
performances throughout the year, and leading the Symphony’s education and community outreach activities.

Lang-Lessing is currently busy preparing for the Symphony's 2010/11 season, but he took some time to talk John Clare about community outreach and his first year in San Antonio.

You can receive free tickets to an October Symphony performance by participating in the Find Sebastian Lang-Lessing Scavenger Hunt.
