Texan music scene shaped by Claassen in San Antonio
Brooklyn composer-conductor Claassen details his Texas work in San Antonio where he organized the Mozart Society and Symphony Society, leading to a full-house concert despite a rival festival. He also directs the Beethoven Society and in Texas builds a thriving music culture with venues, choirs, and a planned Pan American Exposition role. The article notes his ties to Generals Funston and Parker and his belief Texans rely on hearing stars via records before tickets.
