Despite ongoing labor negotiations and after decades of performances, the San Antonio Symphony will soon be no more after a unanimous vote from its board of directors.

The board announced Thursday the dissolution of the symphony and said it will file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The decision comes on the heels of an ongoing strike from symphony musicians that began in September 2021 after an impasse was declared in contract negotiations between the Symphony Society of San Antonio and the local chapter of the American Federation of Musicians. Labor negotiations began in January of 2021, and the last bargaining session was held on March 8, 2022.It was during the last session that the Union “declined to return to the bargaining table, despite efforts of federal mediators and the Symphony,” according to the board of directors’ statement.

The board of directors credited hundreds of its musicians and administrative staff that have been a part of the symphony since its founding.
