Hartman Foundation
“Concerts in the Park”
Austin Symphony Orchestra
June 5th through August 29th
The Long Center City Terrace
From big band to
classical ensembles, the annual Austin Symphony Orchestra
"Concerts in the Park" return June 5th through August
28th. Presented for the ninth season as a gift to the
City of Austin by the Hartman Foundation, the free Sunday
evening concerts will be held on The Long Center City Terrace,
next to Lady Bird Lake's Auditorium Shores.
Each Sunday starting
at 7:30 p.m., a different ensemble of the Austin Symphony will
be featured, performing music from jazz and light classical to
pops selections and film scores. Concertgoers are encouraged to
bring a picnic dinner and blanket and make it a group outing.
The outdoor park
concerts last one hour and are an ideal opportunity for
Austinites to enjoy both the Austin Symphony and the cityscape
views of downtown Austin. The 2011 concert schedule
includes:
- June 12 - Brass
- June 26 - Big Band
- July 10 - Strings
- July 17 - Brass
- July 24 - Woodwinds
- July 31 - Big Band
- August 7 - Strings
- August 14 - Brass
- August 21 - Woodwinds
- August 28 - Big Band
The music and
atmosphere is designed to reflect a simpler time, when
performances of familiar classics in downtown gathering places
were commonplace, said Austin Symphony organizers.
Hartman Family Foundation officials say that they hope
these free outdoor events will provide an opportunity for
Austinites to become acquainted - or reacquainted - with the
classical music experience at Austin's new gathering place for
the arts.
No Hartman Concert
will be presented on July 3rd, in order to prepare for the
annual Austin Symphony Concert and Fireworks on July 4th.
Beginning at 8:30 p.m., the free event on Auditorium
Shores annual attracts more than 100,000 spectators.
The "Concerts in the
Park" performances are free, and free parking is available
at One Texas Center on Barton Springs Road at South 1st Street.
