There’s no place like home. A familiar line from a familiar movie and so very true. The Miro Quartet, The University of Texas String Quartet In Residence with an international reputation and a GRAMMY nomination, honed in on the theme with their latest album Home. They illustrated the essence of Home with a video of their performance of Over The Rainbow.

Daniel Ching, one of the founding members of the group says Home is a love letter to and appreciation of all the things they call home.

There’s a program coming up live and online in New York that is all about babies and music. It’s from Carnegie Hall’s The Lullaby Project. This is a concert of many of the songs composed by new parents with the help of professional musicians. Some of the performers are opera singers who sang some of the compositions written by the parents. Austin Classical Guitar was involved in this program, helping local parents express their emotions about their very young children.

Tiffany Ortiz, the Director of Early Childhood Programs at Carnegie Hall is inviting others to develop their own Lullaby Projects.

Imagine what it must be like to have someone give you a free trip to the arts camp you’ve always wanted to attend.

That happened to 15 high school students all over Texas via the Young Masters Program of the Texas Commission on the Arts and the Texas Cultural Trust.

Lerchen Zhong of Westwood High School in Round Rock is the only local student chosen for the program. He already knows where he wants to spend his summer.

Dr. Gary Gibbs, the executive director of the Texas Commission On The Arts says the grants are for all disciplines in the arts.
