Weekend Music Pix
This weekend, we’re overloaded with recommended music offerings, particularly on Sunday, when things
And no, this isn’t just happening on the classical music scene. Austin is dizzy with entertainment offering in April.
Tonight, for me it’s “The Color of Dissonance,” the new opera by Jason Hoogerhyde that’s getting its premiere at Southwestern University. It’s always an occasion when new operas are realized here in Austin. The opera plays tonight, Saturday and Sunday. www.southwestern.edu/boxoffice.
Listen to an excerpt:
Saturday, the Round Rock Symphony had a rocky debut last fall, but Jessica Mathaes, Austin Symphony Orchestra concertmistress is the guest soloist, and she’s not one to miss. Mathas plays the premiere of Manly Romero’s ‘Remember Father.’ 8 p.m. First Presbyterian Church, 8001 Mesa Drive. $15-$30. www.roundrocksymphony.org.
Sunday, Itzhak Perlman dominates the evening choices and I can’t resist that.
The rest of the offerings, which you can see here, are numerous. The Wild Basin Winds has an interesting looking program of new music — read about here — but it conflicts with the Perlman concert. UT’s Great Organ Series and repeated performances of “The Color of Dissonance” and Round Rock Symphony.
