     CHILLS AND THRILLS! It's creepy, crawly and so much fun it's spooky! Your little ghost or goblin will help haunt Long Center's Dell Hall for Austin Symphony Orchestra's annual Halloween Children's Concert. This exciting concert features frightfully fun symphonic music that is stimulating for young eyes and ears (ages 4-11). This season, your ASO will feature The Composer is Dead a riotous collaboration between composer Nathaniel Stookey and children's author Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) that combines two elements of great storytelling: music and suspense. ASO Assistant Conductor Pablo Zamora and actor André Martin will lead the orchestra through this gripping murder mystery where every member of the orchestra is a suspect! The mysterious whodunit gets underway with Pre-Concert Activities for Kids at 2:00 pm on the Long Center's H-E-B Terrace, including musical and Halloween crafts, games, and an Instrument Petting Zoo. A one-hour narrated concert will follow, starting at 3:00 pm in Dell Hall. Come in costume - many members of the orchestra will too. Don't forget to enter our Spooktacular Costume Contest - prizes will be awarded onstage during the concert, including for The Scariest, The Most Original, and "Best-Dressed Dead Composer." (less) ...

  Founded in 2020, illumine Choirs is proud to be an independent not-for-profit organization under the leadership of our Founder and Artistic Director, Nina Revering of Conspirare Youth Choirs fame. We are honored to continue to serve our community through outstanding music instruction. illumine provides musical training for youth across the Austin region. The excellence of Nina's direction and the talent of our singers has led to invitations to headline the Southwestern American Choral Directors Association in Oklahoma City in 2018 and to perform at both the Southwestern American Choral Directors Association in 2014 and the Texas Music Educators Association conference in 2009. While illumine's primary goal is to foster a lifelong love for music rather than train professional music singers, many of our students have gone on to sing at the collegiate and professional levels. From MIT to the Metropolitan Opera, our alumni build their path to success with the tools provided by illumine Choirs. illumine Choirs seeks to grow the organization by 2025 to serve over 100 students, with a determined focus on helping those children who do not benefit from an arts or music education in their schools. We are committed to raising philanthropic gifts so that the organization can ensure no child is turned away from illumine because of cost. We are proud to have provided ten scholarships to students this year alone. We are grateful to all of our volunteers, parents, and Board of Trustees who have carefully guided our launch during this global pandemic. Through a series of beautiful miracles, support, hard work, and grace, we kept the children singing against all odds. illumine Choirs is proud and excited to continue our legacy of song well into the future!

  ABOUT DISNEY’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Nov. 14 - 24 Based on the smash hit 1991 Disney animated feature and dating back to a late 18th-century classic French fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who feels out of place in her provincial French village. When her father is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast, a grisly and fearsome monster, who was long ago trapped in his gruesome form by an enchantress. The only way for the Beast to become human once again is if he learns to love and be loved in return. There is a time limit, too: once a magical rose loses all of its petals, all hope will be lost and he will stay a Beast forever. The Beast’s enchanted household--populated by such beloved characters as Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Chip--watch anxiously as Belle and the Beast grow to understand and befriend one another. Their feelings grow ever deeper as the clock ticks and petals continue to fall off the enchanted rose--will they confess their love for one another before it is too late? (less) ... Read more

  ABOUT BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER THE MUSICAL Dec. 5 - Dec.15 The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world–so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. There’s not supposed to be biting or cigar-smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites! Soon, everyone is calling for reluctant director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing. It’s up to the Bradleys and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic.
