Brackenridge Park’s 125th celebration culminates with a once-in-a-lifetime concert featuring San Antonio’s own Grammy-award-winning musician and songwriter, Christopher Cross who will be joined by the San Antonio Philharmonic conducted by Maestro Peter Bay.
Christopher Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1980 self-titled debut album, winning five Grammy Awards, including—for the first time in Grammy history—the “Big Four” most prestigious awards: Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also “Sailing”), and Best New Artist. In a career spanning more than four decades, Cross has sold more than 10 million albums. His music has garnered five Grammy Awards, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, an Emmy nomination and five Top 10 singles.
Joining Cross will be the San Antonio Philharmonic which envisions a San Antonio in which every resident has access to high-quality orchestral performances and educational opportunities that reflect the history and culture of our community. These musicians are “seeking ways to involve new audiences in the transformative power of music and re-invent the orchestra of the 21st century.”
The performance will be conducted by Maestro Peter Bay who has appeared with over eighty different orchestras. He became Music Director and Conductor of the Austin Symphony Orchestra in 1998, is the Primary Conductor for the Austin Ballet, Conductor of the Bravo! Big Sky Classical Festival Orchestra (MT) and Arizona Philharmonic and has conducted albums and soundtracks to include Christopher Cross’ Secret Ladder album.
