Austin Chamber Ensemble Summer 2020 Events

Our 2020-2021 Season will be announced in late August/early September with details that will include safe gathering or other creative ways to bring you our concerts. The Austin Chamber Ensemble was formed in 1981 as a wind quintet and began with a series of six concerts in 1985. Concerts for our upcoming season will feature the wind quintet and a commissioned work for soprano and piano by Ethan Wickman to celebrate our 40th season! Stay tuned! In the meantime, we hope you will join us for the summer events listed below.

Previous Summer Event

Austin Chamber Ensemble Artists Katherine Altobello O’Brien and Martha Mortensen Ahern will present a 30-minute concert on the front lawn of a Northwest Austin home at 5:00pm on Saturday, June 6th (weather permitting). Guest artist Tim O’Brien will join Katherine in singing a duet to close out the concert. Every Saturday, all summer long (weather permitting), the Austin Artists Project is collaborating with local sponsors to bring 30-minute concerts performed by grant recipients and local volunteers to beautiful shaded front lawns all over the Austin area. To ensure everyone's safety, we are limiting the concert capacity in accordance with social distancing practices. See the link below to register for the ticket lottery. Attendees will receive an email by 5:00pm Friday detailing all necessary information, including location, time of arrival, and more. Suggested donation is $25.
