In Thursday\u2019s (7\/2) San Antonio Express-News<\/a>, Deborah Martin writes, \u201cTroy Peters, who has been music director of Youth Orchestras of San Antonio since 2009, will leave his post at the end of next season. Peters\u2019 departure will come as the organization is wrapping up its 50th anniversary celebrations. He is leaving because his wife, Anne Peters, has accepted a job as vice president for marketing at the University of South Carolina\u2026. Peters\u2019 impact on YOSA goes beyond the music he has helped the musicians learn \u2026 \u2018Troy has never viewed music education as simply preparing students for the next concert,\u2019 Jerrod Price, YOSA\u2019s executive director, said in a statement. \u2018He has helped build an organization that prepares young people for life. Together, we\u2019ve expanded access, challenged expectations and created opportunities that didn\u2019t exist a generation ago,\u2019 Price said\u2026. In addition to the program\u2019s growth and expansion, Peters is proud that the makeup of the YOSA is now more reflective of the city in terms of racial and ethnic makeup and socioeconomic status. \u2018I think that\u2019s been a really deliberate effort of ours, to make sure that we\u2019re getting out and building relationships \u2026 in neighborhoods that had not been traditionally \u2026 think[ing] about this being something that\u2019s possible for them,\u2019 Peters said\u2026. \u2018In this 50th anniversary \u2026 we\u2019re not done \u2026 and I\u2019m excited about putting my all into a really great finale with YOSA.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Thursday\u2019s (7\/2) San Antonio Express-News, Deborah Martin writes, \u201cTroy Peters, who has been music director of Youth…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365394,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[32067,129511,82,84,83,1049,106345],"class_list":["post-365393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-conductors","tag-equity-diversity-and-inclusion","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news","tag-students","tag-youth-orchestras"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
