Church Services & Chamber Music Concerts

Unique among Texas chamber music companies, MVSJ string, wind, and jazz musicians maintain an active schedule of professional solo, chamber music, and orchestral concerts. Individual member musicians perform regularly and under tenured contract with the San Antonio Symphony, Austin Symphony, The Opera San Antonio, and the Austin Lyric Opera. Other regular engagements include Victoria Bach Festival, Camerata San Antonio, Musical Offerings, the Carmel Bach Festival, the Grand Teton Music Festival, the Colorado Music Festival, the Aspen Music Festival, and the Santa Fe Opera. In contrast to performers who primarily play background music, this professional balance ensures the integrity of all MVSJ members’ skills over time. This in turn leads to an exquisite musical product at every MVSJ performance, whether in the background or the foreground.

MVSJ will produce an exceptional musical performance while handling all logistical matters promptly, accurately and efficiently, allowing the organizer to sit back and enjoy the music.

Rates for concert, religious, and cultural performances will vary depending upon repertoire and other factors of production. Please inquire directly.

MVSJ Chamber Music Concert » String Quartet

Exciting… talented… their performances are not to be missed!

Dear Andrew, I wanted to thank you and Monte Vista Strings & Jazz for providing such incredible music at our wedding ceremony and reception. Watching everything again in the wedding video confirmed that every note was flawless. The duo at the cocktail hour was also amazing. The transition from the more formal strings to the classical guitar was the perfect segue into the celebratory part of the evening. Thank you again for your professionalism and your remarkable talent! I couldn’t dream of a more perfect soundtrack to the day.

Andrew: It was a pleasure working with you & your quartet. That was the most solid & elegant “backup” I’ve ever experienced on the Mozart quartet.

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job during our wedding ceremony. You were very professional in your approach and we certainly appreciate it and know that the Mission San Jose appreciated it as well. You were so polite to work with and we knew that we were in good hands. All of our guests raved about the music and we are so thrilled about the outcome. The music is the best I have heard anywhere. Thank you again for being a delightful person to work with. We wish you well in the future and we thank you again for delivering the most beautiful music we could have possibly asked for during one of the most important days in our lives.
