This month, the Classical Music Institute is programming concerts, student workshops, and other outreach events to celebrate classical music. Halfway through the CMI210 fest, the group’s President and CEO, Paul Montalvo, resident conductor Leonardo Pineda, and guest conductor Jose Luis Gomez share news about this summer’s festival, and share recent performances from CMI.
The festival wraps up on June 24 with a program called “Con Molto Ispirazione.” Gomez says the show’s title is apt.
“[This concert] has that element of communication, inspiration and the ‘molto’ that it’s, you know, in Italian means ‘a lot.’ So I think feel that the heat of San Antonio doesn’t stay in the weather. It stays also in the enthusiasm of the music making of this wonderful organization.”
