ABOUT THE SAN ANTONIO MASTERSINGERS
Founded in 1944, the San Antonio Mastersingers are an all-volunteer chorus of approximately 125 singers dedicated to enriching lives through the performance of outstanding choral music that inspires audiences, challenges singers, and supports educational and artistic opportunities in the community.
The chorus has performed at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Royal Festival Hall, as well as major concert venues throughout Italy, Portugal, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, and the Czech Republic.
In 2023, the Mastersingers returned to Carnegie Hall to perform Mozart’s Requiem under Dr. Muhn’s baton. In 2024, the chorus performed in historic venues across Austria and the Czech Republic, and most recently, in June 2026, Dr. Muhn conducted Fauré’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall as part of Manhattan Concert Productions’ Masterworks Series, with several Mastersingers participating in the Masterworks Festival Chorus.
