Bolling: All That Jazz
Friday, October 1, 2004 - 8:00 pm

French jazz pianist and composer Claude Bolling virtually defined jazz-classical crossover - his ground breaking Suite for Flute and Jazz piano Trio (1975) was #1 on the charts for a phenomenal 530 weeks. Jazz and classical music lovers alike will enjoy this acclaimed work as well as his Concerto for Classical Guitar and Jazz Piano Trio (1974), interpreted by an ensemble of virtuoso Austin artists.

Flight of Fancy
Saturday, January 15, 2005 - 7:30 pm
Elisabet Ney Museum, 304 E. 44th St.
New York composer John Lampkin charmed Austin audiences in 2001 with his quirky, award-winning work "Insects" and in 2002 with "Love and Lunacy: Moon Songs." Now he's back again with a new musical foray into the natural world exploring "Migrations" of species as diverse as broadwing hawks and red crabs. Lampkin's musical whimsy plus works by other composers, performed amid the pensive splendor of Elisabet Ney's sculpture, promise an evening of artistic variety and fun.

Harps and Flowers
Sunday, February 13, 2005 - 3:00 pm
Private Home
Warm sounds of flute, viola, and harp waft through an elegant residence. You and your sweetheart listen and gaze out from expansive windows as the winter sun kisses burnished treetops. When the music's over, you visit the sumptuous dessert buffet and chat with the musicians. What could be more richly romantic?

Rags and Riches
Sunday, March 6, 2005 - 4:00 pm
First Presbyterian Church, 8001 Mesa Dr.
Pianist and UT graduate Richard Dowling returns to Austin to play Joplin, Gershwin, and more in an energetic afternoon concert. Dowling has performed throughout the U.S., Asia, and Europe, where many acclaimed appearances in France earned him induction as a Chevalier of the Company of Musketeers of Armagnac. Not bad for a guy who plays ragtime - come hear what the fuss is about.

Mama Mia

University Presbyterian Church
Mother's Day wouldn't be complete without Austin Chamber Ensemble's annual potpourri of chamber music in honor of everyone's number one lady. Bring the whole family for singing, playing, and refreshments to please one and all.
