 In 2017 operations were turned over to Symphonic Music for San Antonio, a nonprofit organization.SMSA pulled out of this agreement in December 2017, leaving the organization in poor position, and in January 2018 it was announced the bulk of the symphony's remaining 2017–18 season would be cancelled.With the help of a fundraising effort spearheaded by Kathleen Weir Vale, the remainder of the 2017–18 season was salvaged, and the Symphony Society returned as the governing body.
