• Name: Arts on Alexander | Philharmonie Austin Chorus

Arts On Alexander derives its origins from Redeemer Presbyterian Church’s Redeemer Artes, which has hosted choral and instrumental organizations, including the Texas Early Music Project, La Follia, Conspirare, Austin Baroque Orchestra, and numerous national and international musicians on its East Austin campus.

AoA, as with its predecessor Redeemer Artes, seeks to provide a place where community development and artistic and cultural development can grow together.

AoA envisions building education and outreach and youth programs into its core offerings, including opportunities to engage in the culinary, literary, and visual arts.

As Austin is a dynamic and fast-growing city, AoA provides a common thread that brings diverse communities together for the benefit of the city and its people.

The current Arts on Alexander Board of Directors includes: Dr. Ben King, Dr. George Dupere, Barry McBee, Gerson Brisola, Carolyn Ahrens, Dewayne Perry, and Brenda Simms. For information on how to support Arts on Alexander, contact us.

Philharmonie Austin is a period instrument orchestra that has been bringing exciting performances to Austin for over ten years, previously under the name Musica Redemptor. Under the direction of conductor Mark Dupere, the group explores repertoire ranging from early baroque to late romantic music and is comprised of many of the country's finest players of old instruments. Philharmonie Austin is privileged to come under the umbrella of Arts on Alexander and to enjoy its long and happy collaboration with the Redeemer Choir. Notable performances have included Bach's Christmas Oratorio, Handel's Messiah, and Mendelssohn's Elijah.

The orchestra has explored a vast range of instrumental works including the complete Orchestral Suites and Brandenburg Concertos of Bach, Rameau's Dardanus Suite, Handel's Water Music, Mendelssohn String Symphonies, and more recently, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and Fourth Piano Concerto, Brahm’s Fourth Symphony, and Mozart Symphony 39 and Requiem. Drawing on the wealth of research and knowledge into performance practice of each period, the group seeks to bring its audience performances that enliven the soul as we strive to get to the heart of the composer's intentions and communicate this to a new generation.
