✨ The journey continues.

As the second stop in our Journeys of Wonder and Beauty season, Parts of the Whole invites you to experience the Austin Civic Orchestra in its most intimate form. This chamber concert brings you inside the music — where individual voices, small ensembles, and unexpected combinations reveal the colors that shape the orchestra’s larger sound.

From a solo moment to a 20‑member string ensemble, each performance becomes a step along a musical path filled with curiosity, character, and connection.

🎶 Program Highlights

  • Suite from Dido and Aenea by Henry Purcell performed by a String Orchestra with continuo
  • Purpose, for viola and guitar by Anton von Sehrwald performed by Ronda von Sehrwald, Viola and Anton von Sehrwald, Guitar
  • Trio in A Minor for Clarinet, Cello and Piano Op.114 by Johannes Brahms (first movement) performed by YuHua Olphint, Clarinet, Jacob Lambert, Cello, David Kaplan, Piano
  • Trio in C major, Op 87 by Beethoven (selected movements) performed by  Raymundo Garcia, Violin, Madeline Warner, Oboe, Amy Crandell, Bassoon
  • Concerto for 4 Horns and Piano by Heinrich Hübler performed by Christine Simpson, Alyssa Collins, Kathy Nolen, Denise Stiglich - Horn and Lan Kratzcke, Piano
  • Rosita and Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega performed by Raymundo Garcia, Guitar
