Austin Symphony Orchestra sells out Beethoven concerts
If you were still hoping to nab a ticket for Austin Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Beethoven’s mighty Ninth Symphony, you’re out of luck.
Officials at ASO reported that both the Friday and Saturday night concerts at the Long Center have completely sold out as of Tuesday afternoon. The concert is the last of ASO’s season and marks the end of a two-year journey ASO music director Peter Bay has embarked on, presenting all of Beethoven’s symphonies in order as the orchestra transitioned from its longtime home at UT’s Bass Concert Hall to the new Long Center.
