SCHEDULE for 2008 TBA
The Austin Symphony will return with the 6th summer of presenting free ensemble concerts running June 1 - August 24, 2008 in the early evening. These concerts are a gift from the Hartman Foundation and are presented to the Austin Community as a thank you for its generous support. Each Sunday, a different ensemble will be featured under the gazebo, performing arrangements by composers from Mozart to Ellington to Rodgers & Hammerstein. Concert goers are encouraged to bring a picnic dinner and blanket and make it a family affair. (Sorry, alcohol and glass containers are not permitted in the park)
The music and atmosphere will reflect a simpler time when performances of familiar classics in town centers were commonplace. It is the hope of the Hartman Family that these free and very informal outdoor events will provide an opportunity for Austinites to become acquainted or reacquainted with the classical music experience. As the sun begins to set, music will fill Wooldridge Park and will last about an hour. These delightful outdoor park concerts are a perfect opportunity for Austinites to enjoy some of the Capitol City's greatest pleasures - the Austin Symphony's fine music and one of Austin's beautiful historic parks.
