Founded by intrepid players from the San Antonio Symphony, Camerata San Antonio's talented band of performers crafts ear-tickling small-ensemble programs of modern and classical chamber music. Employing a string quartet balanced with the precision of a professional seesawer, “Romance and Rhythm” explores the shimmering melodies of 19th- and 20th-century composers Turina, Ginastera, and Grieg. Alternatively, “An English Christmas” bolsters violins, viola, and cello with the recorder-playing talents of Martha Fabrique and the narration of Deirdre Saravia to present a cycle of yuletide euphonies culled from Great Britain, including a sonic rendition of “A Christmas Carol.” Both concerts take place in three different high-eaved churches throughout the San Antonio area, giving sixty-fourth notes enough space to float out of their instruments before galloping out the building in blind panic.
Though Camerata San Antonio offers $8 tickets for full-time students with ID, this Groupon still offers the best deal available for most buyers.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Ancient Rome
Though many of us have heard familiar historical phrases such as "Friends, Romans, countrymen," or "Rome (If You Want To)," very few people know about ancient Rome itself. What is there to know about this once mighty civilization?
Ancient Rome was founded by twin brothers raised by a wolf, who named them Remus and Romulus—now recognized as the wolf-language translation of Timmy and Jimmy.
Like all massive ventures, Rome was constructed in approximately one day.
The vomitorium was actually a passage beneath the tiered seats of an amphitheater—it facilitated a convenient means of exiting quickly, and it is still in use in modern stadiums. It is not whatever you were picturing. I’m disappointed, too.
Colosseum battles only included giant scorpions on the emperor's birthday.
Ancient Rome was originally just called Rome.
