Happy 100th Birthday, Austin Symphony!
On Tuesday, April 25th, 1911, the Austin Symphony Orchestra had its first performance, and KMFA will celebrate this 100th Anniversary with a special program: A.S.O. 100! Learn about your Austin Symphony, the first-ever Drive-in Symphony Concert in the United States, Monday night performances in the Coliseum after a weekend stockade show, and other “batty” and sublime moments.
