Join us for the Austin Civic Orchestra’s annual Parts of the Whole chamber concert, an intimate evening featuring small ensembles made up of ACO musicians and friends. This special tradition – this year on Valentine’s Day – highlights the artistry, collaboration, and musical curiosity that thrive within our orchestra.

A Concert With a Cause

This year’s event is free to attend, and we invite audience members to participate in a food drive supporting the Abiding Love Food Pantry. The pantry is open just one day a week yet serves over 700 individuals weekly. Your donations help local families stretch their food supplies through the end of the month when resources are tight. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference. Here is a list of preferred food items.
