AUSTIN CHAMBER MUSIC CENTER PRESENTS

ARTISAN QUARTET

25TH ANNUAL AUSTIN CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL

Thursday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m. | Neill-Cochran House Museum

The Artisan Quartet, all principal members of the Austin Symphony Orchestra, trace the roots of the string quartet. Music by Haydn ultimately leads into the iconic American voices of Samuel Barber and Carlos Simon. The program rounds out perfectly with Dvorák’s American Quartet.

Seating pods of 1-4 people will be created based on each ticket order. Pods will be spaced six feet apart and masks will be required. Subject to availability, $12 Student Rush (with student ID), $35 General Admission, and $55 Premium tickets may be purchased at the box office on the evening of the concert. Please note that the venue capacity is very limited.
