About Olmos Ensemble

For more than three decades Olmos Ensemble has proven itself as one of the premier chamber music organizations in Texas and has gained national recognition for its world class performances, broadcasts, and online concert archive. Founded in 1994 as a chamber music showcase for some of the San Antonio Symphony's principal players, Olmos Ensemble’s core group now includes leading musicians from across the United States, including several with San Antonio roots. Olmos Ensemble’s programming has won plaudits for its innovative programming, showcasing neglected works by female composers, forgotten Baroque gems, and challenging contemporary pieces alongside insightful interpretations of standard chamber repertoire from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

In addition to an annual Summer Concert Series in August and their Fall/Spring Concert Season throughout the rest of the year, Olmos Ensemble performs outreach concerts in local communities and is regularly featured in broadcast performances on Texas Public Radio and American Public Media’s Performance Today. Recent guest artists include internationally acclaimed musicians Jeannette Sorrell, Jon Nakamatsu, Vadim Gluzman, Jon Kimura Parker, Jeffrey Kahane, and John Novacek.
