The Prickly Pear Clarinet Ensemble and the Mini Pears Clarinet Ensemble come together again for Clarinet Choir Kaleidoscope, a lively, feel-good evening celebrating original clarinet choir music of all kinds!

From smooth and dreamy to bold and a little quirky, this program shows just how many sounds (and surprises) the clarinet family can create. You’ll hear everything from the bustling energy of L.A. Traffic to the gentle calm of Smokey Mountain Lullaby, plus imaginative pieces like A Knight Remembered and At Night that paint vivid musical scenes. The Prickly Pear Clarinet Ensemble will also be giving the world premiere of Dr. Richard L. Marple’s A Kobold Sighting!

Whether you’re a longtime music lover or just looking for a fun night out, this concert is for you; no experience required. Join your professional San Antonio clarinet ensemble and our favorite student clarinet group this June for our season finale. All you need to bring your curiosity and enjoy the ride!

WHAT: A captivating large-scale immersive art experience, Otherwild, will transform the San Antonio Botanical Garden this spring into a vibrant world where wonder takes root and the sky comes alive.

Debuting Saturday, March 7, the exhibition features colorful visionary installations by artist Patrick Shearn and his internationally renowned studio, Poetic Kinetics, which is recognized for large-scale public art that inspires awe, movement, and creative exploration.

● Enchanted Trees - a sculptural grove of ten imaginary species, each with its own personality, crafted from reflective, movement-responsive materials that interact with sunlight and wind.

Otherwild is included with standard admission. To learn more and purchase tickets, please visit www.sabgtx.org

Selena Forever | Siempre Selena is a photographic exhibition featuring images by Texas photographer John Dyer, capturing Selena at a pivotal moment in her rise to stardom.
On View: June 4, 2026 – January 4, 2027

This exhibition features intimate and striking photographs captured during Selena’s rise to international stardom in the early 1990s. The exhibition offers an intimate look at an artist whose talent, charisma and determination transformed Tejano music and helped redefine representation for Mexican American women in popular culture. The featured images have never been displayed together, giving new context to Dyer’s work with Selena.

More than a music icon, Selena was a groundbreaking Tejana whose story reflected the spirit of the American West itself: bold, resilient, entrepreneurial and deeply connected to culture and community. Like generations of Tejanos who helped shape Texas through perseverance, innovation and cultural pride, Selena forged her own path while carrying the traditions of her community forward. Her legacy continues to inspire new generations, embodying the pioneering spirit, creativity and determination that remain central to the story of the West.

“Selena’s story is deeply connected to the cultural pride and artistic expression that define Tejano identity,” said Jackson. “Her influence transcends music and continues to inspire audiences across generations, making her an important part of this broader cultural conversation. The exhibition shares an icon who demonstrates the lasting influence of Tejanos – and Tejanas – in Texas and beyond.
