Dear Friends,
Our students, faculty and staff are back on campus, and we are returning to fully in-person performances and programming for the first time in more than a year.
I saw my first live performance in the Butler School of Music with the Miró Quartet a couple of weeks ago, and they were absolutely fantastic. Not only are they technically impressive musicians, but they’re terrific ambassadors for classical music. The ensemble shared context and narrative around each work they performed, both educating and connecting with their audience. The quartet remained fully masked for the performance, an act of generosity to the audience members who came to see them perform.
The Visual Arts Center opened three new shows for the fall, including Carolina Caycedo and David de Rozas: The Blessings of the Mystery. We’re proud to have the premiere of this exhibition at the University of Texas before it travels on to Ballroom Marfa and the University of Texas at El Paso.
This week, the Department of Theatre and Dance kicks off its new season with their first in-person show: Sonnets for an Old Century, and Texas Performing Arts kicks off its 40th anniversary season with Ballet Hispánico on Oct. 30.
We’re excited to welcome audiences back safely into our spaces to experience incredible work on our stages and in our galleries. I hope to see you here soon.
Sincerely,
