Program areas at Soli Chamber Ensemble
SOLI produced three live outdoor concerts at the San Antonio Botanical Garden, four salon-style events throughout San Antonio, and one community engagement evening at Texas Public Radio, for ca. 575 attendees. SOLI commissioned two new chamber works, presented two world premieres during 2024-2025, and recorded one event for radio re-broadcast.
In honor of its 30th anniversary, SOLI initiated the 30x30x30 Project in March 2024, soliciting 293 submissions from a national public call for recently-composed works by early-career composers. A national panel of experts selected 30 works; each will be performed and recorded during the 2024-2025 season by SOLI and partnering organizations around the country. The ultimate goal of the 30x30x30 Project is to give voice to different cultures, heritages, and affinities. Increasing knowledge and understanding of contemporary classical music dissolves barriers, invites connection, and strengthens cultural sensitivity and community across demographics.
SOLI traveled to the University of Georgia and the University of Central Missouri in Fall 2023 to present public concerts, facilitate reading sessions of student composer works, and to engage with students - both majors and non-majors - at each institution.
