Austinites know summer has begun once the Austin Symphony Orchestra’s Hartman Foundation Concerts in the Park kicks off. All ages, including pets, enjoy relaxing Sunday evenings with different musical ensembles presented by the Austin Symphony Orchestra (ASO). The setting of kids dancing, couples lounging on blankets, intrigued passersby and friends gathering never gets old. Residents of the “Live Music Capital of the World” are invited to come enjoy and experience the original kind of live music that happened in town centers years ago.
In its 20th summer season, these free ensemble concerts take place at the Hartman Concert Park in front of the Long Center City Terrace and run on Sunday evenings. Thanks to a generous gift from the Hartman Family Foundation, these informal concerts for the Austin community continue to be funded each season allowing Austinites to become acquainted or reacquainted with the classical music experience. Performing music from jazz and light classical to pops selections and film scores, concertgoers are encouraged to bring a picnic dinner and blanket, and make it a group outing.

William Grant Still’s expressive 5th Symphony, Western Hemisphere, paints a beautiful picture as he describes it as, “when the new day dawns, the lands of the Western Hemisphere are raised from the bosom of the Atlantic.”

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN – Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 73, Emperor
