What a great performance at a beautiful local treasure. Rhiannon took an art class at the Contemporary Austin in high school and I loved walking the grounds while she was in class. Bravo Janet, Chad, Steven, and Tom!

I really enjoyed this production! I especially liked the performances that were done in the vicinity of the statue that was featured. Was there a logistical issue that prevented the quartet from performing onsite? :). None the less, all the performances were magical!
