Previously, she served as Board Secretary/Board Member for the organization since it’s inaugural debut in 2010.

We did not have access to attend many performances, but they provided and inspired us to appreciate and love the arts at home. We had an old upright piano that I began playing by ear as a child.” “I am now driven and elated to further arts & music education through Classical Music Institute.” “We are creating not only the next generation of artists, but also future patrons and supporters of all the arts.”Melanie Matcek is a San Antonio native, and the only Certified Matchmaker and Relationship Coach for singles in San Antonio and South Texas.
