Presence is the heart of our season.
The culmination of a yearlong collaboration, Presence features music by ACG’s 23-24 Artist-in-Residence and Grammy-nominated composer Reena Esmail, and performances by the extraordinary Mexican guitarist Dieter Hennings Yeomans, Austin’s super-creative and genre-bending vocal ensemble VAMP, and critically acclaimed bassoonist and UT Butler School faculty member Kristin Wolfe Jensen.
These internationally celebrated artists will be joined by a massive guitar orchestra, conducted by ACG Artistic Director Joe Williams on stage at the gorgeous AISD Performing Arts Center. The Presence Guitar Orchestra features the ACG Youth Camerata, Youth Orchestra & Chamber Ensemble as well as guitarists from UT Austin, UT San Antonio & UT Rio Grande Valley.
With premieres of music written by Reena Esmail, Matthew Lyons, Travis Marcum, Tony Mariano and Joe Williams. Presence is a celebration of now and our shared experience. Join us for this unforgettable evening!
