On Monday, April 14th, we will NOT have our regular club meeting. Instead, we are going to head to the AISD Performing Arts Center at 4 PM and visit our friends at Austin Classical Guitar (ACG) to get an in-person look at how the ACG Education program works at scale by witnessing a portion of a two-day adjudicated concert & sight reading event with students from across Austin. It will include over 40 groups with over 1,000 students. We will meet with Executive Director Matt Hinsley in the lobby for a brief chat, and then step into the performance hall to see the contest.
ACG has been running this contest for AISD starting in 2013 - modeled after similar UIL events for orchestra and band. In exciting news, ACG will also run similar events in Dallas, Houston, Edinburg, Brownsville, and El Paso this spring to serve their partners in other parts of the state. Executive Director Matt Hinsley will meet with us to give us a little overivew before we watch a group or two perform.
The Austin ISD Performing Arts Center offers a free 400-space parking garage for all PAC events, with entrances on Mueller Blvd and a private drive connecting to 51st St and Barbara Jordan Blvd. The general public should use the main lobby entrance located near Mueller Blvd.
