Additional information on performance dates and the group itself are said to be forthcoming. As noted in the above item, the State Theater Company bid farewell to its longtime artistic director this year, but it looks like it won't be the only local arts group to do so. Chorus Austin , the umbrella organization for the Austin Civic Chorus , Austin Vocal Arts Ensemble , the Texas Bach Festival , the Orchestra of St. David's , and the Summer Musical for Children , announced this week that David Stevens will be leaving the organization at the end of the year. Stevens departs Chorus Austin having presided over the merger of the Civic Chorus and Vocal Arts Ensemble last year and the launching of the Bach festival this spring. Titled Critical Mass , the symposium runs November 9-11 and features two sessions each day, an open seminar at 10am and a panel discussion on a specific topic at 3pm.
All sessions are free and open to the public.
