Covid throw off your groove?
It's time to Get Your Groove Bach!
Join us on the front lawn of the Neill-Cochran House Museum evenings June 25th to 27th for three LIVE (yes, that's IN-PERSON) performances by Austin's own Bel Cuore Saxophone Quartet! They'll have some saxy selections to share with you including J.S. Bach's Chaconne from Violin Partita No. 2 in D Minor, selections from Marc Mellits' Groove Machine, Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin, Piazolla's Histoire du Tango, and more.
In return to our usual format, we will be serving warm pastries and cold beer generously provided by Easy Tiger and Lazarus Brewing--at no additional cost! In addition, all attendees will be allowed one free visit to the Neill-Cochran House Museum's exhibits (voucher to be used at a different time than the day of performance, as the performance takes place after museum hours).
Tickets available on Eventbrite.
