Are You On The List?

Imagine that you are a non-profit organization in need of an infusion of music or a performance of a different type in your program.  The Texas Commission on the Arts has come to the rescue.  They’ve released their Texas Touring Roster for the next two years.  It means if you hire the performers on the list to perform, in Texas, the TCA will help you pay for it.

The Artistic Director of Montopolis, Justin Sherburn, here with his wife Sara, a cellist, says they have benefitted from this program for several years.

The First Ever Open House At The Long Center in Austin, Texas

The Long Center is celebrating its 15th anniversary with something they’ve never done before.  They’re throwing open the doors of the performing arts facility for the First Annual Teresa Lozano Long Community Day. Dr. Long broke racial barriers at the University of Texas back in the 1950’s. She and her husband Joe have funded many scholarships, educational institutions and The Long Center.

Long Center CEO Cory Baker says the place will be rocking inside and out with performers from all over the Austin area.
