Financially struggling San Antonio Symphony ending season

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The board of the financially struggling San Antonio Symphony has suspended the rest of the 2017-2018 season after performances through Saturday.

A contract with musicians expired at the end of December. Concerns had been raised last year about an underfunded pension plan.

A meeting Wednesday night led officials with the Symphony Society of San Antonio to end the season early, amid concerns of a possible shortfall of more than $2 million.

Details on the fate of the San Antonio Symphony weren’t immediately released, although a statement says it’s not the end of the symphony. Messages left for administrators of the San Antonio Symphony, which was founded in 1939, weren’t immediately returned Thursday.
