Austin Saxophone Ensemble presents:

Sunburst
For the finale of our eleventh season, we bring you an evening of flourishes and bangs, sensuous melodies, radiating textures, and angelic voices as the Austin Saxophone Ensemble presents: Sunburst. Inspired by a radiating geometric pattern, Karalyn Schubring’s fantastic work evokes the motion and energy of bursting light through the raw power of the saxophone. From the rays of day we take you to the placid, calm of night with Joanne Metcalf’s The Midnight Sea and The Sapphire Sky. ASE will also bring you the romantic sounds of Astor Piazzolla’s Oblivion, Dvorak’s charming minuet from his Serenade for Winds, and the rousing finale of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4.
Join us on Saturday, May 10 at 7:30 pm at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church at 8134 Mesa Dr, Austin, TX 78759. General admission tickets can be purchased in advance below for $15, and kids under 10 get in free!
