FREE Symphony Concerts in the Park
A Hartman Foundation Concert in the Park is the perfect way to wind down the weekend. These weekly concerts are one of Austin’s true summer treats. The city at sunset is a beautiful backdrop to the music at a Sunday Night Concert in the Park. Make it a date, grab a blanket, low back chairs, your cooler and plan a picnic on the lawn at the Long Center for the Performing Arts. August 7 - Strings ~ August 14 – Brass ~ August 21 – Woodwinds ~ August 28 – Big Band. It's Free and Fun concerts like these that allowed my kids to appreciate music overall, music of every kind. You'd have to ask them if it's why they decided to play an instrument too!
