Alamo Music Center

Alamo Music Center prides itself on being a family business. Both Alfredo Flores Sr.'s son and daughter stand as the present leaders of the company. Although they are of a different generation than that of Flores Sr., both still firmly believe and implement their father's beliefs on how to make Alamo Music Center a leader in the Music Industry, while keeping the focus on the customer. Since Alamo Music Center's start in 1929, the company has been actively involved in community and music industry projects. Both leaders of Alamo Music Center have taken an active role in the community, sitting on boards which include, The Arts and Cultural Board, The San Antonio Downtown Improvement District Council, National Association of Music Merchants, American Music Conference, University of Texas at San Antonio Fine Arts Advisory Board and many others. Alfredo Flores Jr. as past president of the National Association of Music Merchants (1985-1987) has a continued link to national activities of the music industry. He is called on to consult on major issues facing music education, music research and music marketing. Alamo Music Center has a firm belief that music is for everyone and interest in it will never die. As Alfredo Flores Sr. recalls of the depression, "Even in the country's most trying times, Music and Art flourished. It was and will always serve as a form of expression and entertainment". It is these two things that will continue to keep people interested in music, as long as there is a genuine interest in music, Alamo Music Center will serve the world with the finest equipment and service it has to offer.
