To Our Austin Philharmonic Orchestra Members and Supporters:
Congregation Beth Israel, our gracious APO host and supporter for a decade, has announced the sanctuary will be closed to large groups. We had hoped Austin Philharmonic would be able to resume rehearsing together by now for our 2021 – 2022 season; however, the recent surge in ICU hospitalizations has paused our plans. We hope the surge will quickly subside and we may resume rehearsals in October, 2021 – in time for our Annual Holiday Concert at the Texas State Capitol.
We will hold an informal APO Board Meeting at 7 pm on Wednesday October 13, 2021 to discuss our future planning for Austin Philharmonic. Please notify any Board Member if you would like to attend our meeting.

WHO WE ARE
The Austin Philharmonic Orchestra is an all-volunteer group from the Central Texas area whose focus is performing the great classical and contemporary orchestral works. We come from varied backgrounds - surgeon and college student, realtor and retiree - with the common desire to share the moving experience of immersing ourselves in living music by performing for the Austin community. We invite everyone to attend our concerts which, with rare exception, are open to all and which are always free of charge.
