This summer, Cactus Pear Music Festival celebrates its 29th season with a title that says it all: 29 and Counting. It’s a nod to our longevity, and to the milestone just ahead-but also to the heartbeat of chamber music itself. Chamber music lives in the count: the toe-tapping energy, the shared downbeat, the exhilarating interplay of musicians perfectly in sync. Sustained by years of unforgettable performances, meaningful connections, and a community that keeps showing up, we’re not just looking back-we’re still playing, still counting, and after all this time, we haven’t missed a beat. All concerts are FREE but we do request that all those attending REGISTER their attendance

3 PM: Count Your Blessings
UIW | Diane Bennack Hall, San Antonio
Gratitude takes many forms-a quiet reflection, a burst of laughter, a song shared among friends. Count Your Blessings is a concert that invites us to notice what we carry, what we celebrate, and what we remember. Each work on this program offers its own kind of benediction: music shaped by care, lifted by joy, or anchored in deep feeling. There are no grand narratives here, only moments of generosity and grace-a chance to listen closely and come away more aware of what matters most.
