Please consider making a donation when purchasing a ticket.  We work to keep the ticket prices low and depend on individual donations to help us continue to bring concerts like this to the Austin Community.

Join the Austin Civic Orchestra at The Austin Stone Northwest for a Saturday pre-dinner concert of all American music!

The ACO will begin with Hanson’s flowing three movement Symphony No 2 (The Romantic). Conductor, Richard Frazier selected The Cowboys Overture to feature composer John Williams. You do not want to miss Gershwin’s  Rhapsody in Blue, where we welcome Austin resident Dr. Joseph Choi as the piano soloist. The concert ends with the moving finale from Bernstein’s Candide Make our Garden Grow complete with soloists and a choir.

Come at 5:15 pm for a preconcert talk with our always entertaining Associate Conductor, W.P. Sterneman III (Dr. Gus).
