The Hartman Foundation "Concerts in the Park"
Date, Time & Location Sundays - 7:30 p.m. June 1 - August 24 (except July 6th) Wooldridge Park, 9th and Guadalupe
Admission Free
SCHEDULE FOR 2008 TBA
The Austin Symphony returns 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.
Date, Time & Location Saturday, June 7, 2008 - 7:00 pm Symphony Square Amphitheatre - 1101 Red River
Program Straight from "Symphony Barn," this award-winning super duo will perform your family favorites, such as "Bingo," "This Old Man" and their theme song, "This Farm." Sit right back with your favorite little Buckaroo and Cowgirl and sing along with The Biscuit Brothers!
