Here’s a message from our friends in Austin:
From the desk of Dave Stoddard:
For more information, see www.atjs.org.
The Austin Philharmonic Orchestra will play its spring concert at Congregation Beth Israel, 3901 Shoal Creek Parkway, on Wednesday, May 7 at 8:00 p.m. This concert is free, although the music is priceless and donations are gratefully accepted. There is plenty of free parking. Music Director David Oertel has programmed the Poet and Peasant Overture by Franz von Suppe and Symphony No. 2 by Johannes Brahms. Both pieces will feature a full brass section which I will anchor on tuba. It will be an evening of fine Romantic music.
Thrift Set Orchestra, one of the hottest traditional jazz bands in the Austin area, has recorded its first CD. The CDs themselves haven’t been pressed yet, but the album is available as an electronic download. For more information, please see http://jonathandoyle.bandcamp.com/.
