This is Austin’s longest running free weekly concert series (since 1980.) When Covid hit, we had to go online, but we kept going with online concerts each week, some live, some videoed. Covid changed many things, and one is the availability of musicians to play each week, so for now, we’ll have one live concert monthly, on 2nd Thursdays. The other weeks will be online, some will be videos of musicians who will be online with us, and some will be curated from YouTube videos, but we’ll continue to have great music each week.
Live concerts are streamed on https://www.facebook.com/CPCThursdayConcerts

In December, we’ll have weekly in-person concerts, leading up to Christmas.
This Week’s Concert is Online
What do Monteverdi, Albeniz, Satie & Massenet have in common?
Composers born in May from the 1500s to 1900s
We’ll listen to music stretching from the 1600s to the 1900s. We’ll hear two different arrangements (with totally different instruments) of Massenet’s “Meditation from Thais”, a lovely song with soprano and counter tenor from Monteverdi, two of Satie’s lessor known Gymnopédies, and two guitar pieces by Albeniz.
