Five years ago, Ronnie Sanders got the idea of having high-caliber musicians come together to form an orchestra and play for audiences for free.He has about 70 members who audition for the part. They travel to different auditoriums in the city and area as part of the South Texas Symphonic Orchestra.
Vaeda Corso, who plays the cello, said there is an artistic expression she wants audiences to be a part of when they come to the shows. Corso has been playing since she was a teen and said it’s not about getting paid but rather for the creative outlet. Mid-Texas Symphony is turning 45 years this season. The professional orchestra plays in different venues in Seguin and New Braunfels.
