For the love of music, Windecker remembered for contributions to Seguin Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Improving the lives of others through music was always the mindset for Anita Windecker, a longtime professor at TLU and one of the founders of the Mid-Texas Symphony. Windecker, professor of emerita of music at Texas Lutheran University, died Saturday. Windecker, a professor of piano, is being remembered today for not only leading the communities of Seguin, New Braunfels and TLU through music but also for leaving behind a legacy that continues to grow. Jason Irle, the executive director of the Mid-Texas Symphony, says Windecker’s vision of ensuring music for future generations started very early -- eventually leading to the creation of the area’s only professional orchestra.
“It was very unlikely at the time back in 1978 that the communities of Seguin and New Braunfels could support an orchestra but she saw past that barrier. She saw that the communities here were going to be very fruitful in terms of people and resources that eventually a full professional symphony orchestra would be able to thrive and sustain itself and serve the community with these rich cultural opportunities and concerts that would then increase the quality of life and elevate the status of our region across the country. So, I would say that it was her vision in that regard that got the whole process started,” said Irle. Not only did she generate the idea but Irle says Windecker spent years building the foundation necessary to Windecker, pg. 3
