KMFA ANNOUNCES “KMFA DAY”

SATURDAY APRIL 23, 2022 | 2:00PM–6:00PM

This Open House Celebration will open KMFA’s new home to public

This Open House will be the first for KMFA in their new location celebrating the new building while welcoming the public to join for a day of on-site tours of the building, family-friendly activities, food & drinks (adult sips from Austin Eastciders, Bud Light, Karbach Brewing Co., Michelob Ultra, and others), and performances – both outside on the garden patio and inside the state-of-the-art Draylen Mason Music Studio.

Outdoor performances and activities will be open to all and guided tours of the building will be given every hour. Activities will take place throughout KMFA giving attendees an inside look at the new versatile space while enjoying performances in a new state-of-the-art studio or outside on the large terrace surrounded by the city.

Enjoy an afternoon of remarkable free performances including Line Upon Line, Convergence, Austin Saxophone Ensemble, Austin Camerata, and the World Premiere of a new work by Donald Grantham.
