San Antonio Philharmonic

San Antonio’s Scottish Rite has given the San Antonio Philharmonic until this Friday, to vacate the downtown building and its 2,200-seat auditorium the orchestra’s permanent home until now.

While the letter states the Philharmonic can no longer “use or occupy” the building after this Friday, it does allow the orchestra to rent the auditorium for its scheduled concerts and to use the building for practice sessions at a cost of $300 for up to four hours.

Both the fees for the performances and practice sessions are below market rates, according to the Scottish Rite, and are “offered to help facilitate your transition to a new location.”
