Through events like the annual Belle Ball, instrument donation programs and hands-on involvement in youth concerts, we bring music to life for our community - preserving its legacy and inspiring the next generation.

Give Your Instruments a Second Life &
Inspire the Next Generation of Musicians!
Have an instrument collecting dust? Put it back into play by donating it to the San Antonio Symphony League. Each donated instrument is thoughtfully matched with a music education program - opening the door to creativity, confidence, and lifelong appreciation of music.
The San Antonio Symphony League's mission is to preserve, advance, and cultivate classical music by supporting and promoting live performances, providing financial assistance and service, and supporting and creating educational efforts/programs of nonprofit classical music organizations in Bexar County. Our activities include awarding grants, collecting used instrument donations for local youth musicians and the annual Belle Ball and Belle Program.
