An Evening of Music & Cuisine

A Celebration Worth Savoring

The Orchestra San Antonio presents the 12th Annual Savor the Music — a unique celebration of music and cuisine featuring world-class artists alongside an exceptional culinary experience. Join us Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 6 p.m. at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. Complimentary valet parking provided.

A Multi-Sensory Evening

Savor the Music brings together the finest musicians and a memorable dining experience for one unforgettable night. It is a celebration of music, philanthropy, community, and fine cuisine — and it traditionally sells out quickly.

Benefiting Ascend

This year's event benefits Ascend, The Orchestra San Antonio's transformative music education initiative — providing free after-school music instruction for students across Bexar County through mentorship, performance, and access to high-quality arts education.

Distinguished Honoree
Dr. Alice Viroslav

A passionate advocate for the performing arts, Dr. Viroslav has played a transformative role in shaping San Antonio's cultural landscape. As former Chair of the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, she helped guide one of Bexar County's most significant cultural institutions and co-chaired the public phase of its landmark capital campaign.

A classically trained soprano, Alice's love of music is both personal and profound — from performing with the San Antonio Mastersingers to lending her voice to charitable productions across the city. Through her philanthropy, advocacy, and artistry, she continues to strengthen the cultural heartbeat of San Antonio.
