Q
uick! What’s the official name of Schreiner’s orchestra? It’s a name that’s probably familiar, even if we don’t necessarily connect it directly with the University.
The answer is Symphony of the Hills—and you didn’t even have to put it in the form of a question. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to live in the Kerrville area and not have heard of the Symphony of the Hills regional orchestra. However, even folks who know a lot about the symphony might be unaware of its connections to Schreiner. It is, in fact, Schreiner’s orchestra, based at Schreiner, and the descendent of the first Schreiner orchestra started in 1998 by Dr. Charlotte Marrow. “Her vision was the spark that set events in motion,” Schreiner president Dr. Tim Summerlin said. Like SOH, Dr. Marrow’s Hill Country Symphony was made up of Schreiner students, faculty and members of the community.
