AUSTIN CHAMBER MUSIC CENTER PRESENTS:

SUMMER VACATION

April 21-22 | 7:30 p.m. | Draylen Mason Music Studio at KMFA

What did YOU do on your summer vacation? Let the whimsical, nostalgic reminiscences of leisure, connection, relaxation and FUN ensue. It’s no wonder that composers wrote some of their very best, most delicious chamber works in the summer… when there was time to imagine and create and invent! Magical summer works by Johannes Brahms, Shulamit Ran, and Sir Edward Elgar inspire this narrative.

Subject to availability, $12 Student Rush (with student ID), $30 General Admission, and $45 Premium tickets may be purchased at the box office starting at 6:30 PM on the evening of the Saturday night concert. Friday night in-person tickets are only available in advance. If you prefer to watch the Friday night livestream, please select a virtual ticket. Virtual tickets are available on a sliding scale and include on-demand access through May.
