About Musical Bridges Around the World
Musical Bridges is a 14-year-old cultural and educational nonprofit organization focused on creating one-of-a-kind, multicultural performances by world-class, internationally renowned classical, jazz, and ethnic folk musicians and performing artists, for the benefit of the public and at-risk youth, while fostering San Antonio’s reputation as a cosmopolitan cultural center and promoting tourism and development. Our programs include:
- The Judy and Jefferson Crabb Musical Evenings at San Fernando Cathedral: a free concert series held on select Sunday evenings in the heart of downtown San Antonio. Conveniently located at a historical attraction next to the Riverwalk. Free and open to the public, tourists, and visitors.
- Main Stage: ticketed concerts held at the beautiful McAllister Auditorium at San Antonio College, featuring world-famous artists.
- Musica Viva: a members concert series held at private residences around San Antonio, allowing members to enjoy intimate performances and mingle with famous musicians, singers, and dancers over dinner.
- Kids to Concerts: a free educational outreach program designed to bring world-class performing arts directly to children and youth. Free to schools that lack funding for music and arts programs.
Annually, Musical Bridges produces more than 20 concerts at McAllister Auditorium and San Fernando Cathedral, and another 17 concerts in K-12 schools, reaching up to 17,000 at-risk youth. It also establishes and partakes in collaborations amongst arts organizations. Concerts appeal to both seasoned concertgoers and curious new listeners.
