Lang-Lessing's plan to conduct performances by the striking symphony musicians appears to have prompted the board's move. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX Symphony Strike ClassicalMusic Labor
to run from April through June. The concerts are presented by the MOSAS Performance Fund and are unaffiliated with symphony management.
In a statement supplied to TPR, Symphony Executive Director Corey Cowart said the announcement of the concerts prompted the board's vote to cut ties with Lang-Lessing. Lang-Lessing served as the Symphony's music director from 2010 to 2020, after which he assumed the emeritus position. He returned each season to conduct a pair of concerts. The symphony's statement Friday appears to terminate that relationship.
TPR requested further comment from Cowart, who sent back the original statement in response, as well as from Lang-Lessing, who said he would speak on the matter in the coming days.
