Each year, the ACO hosts a free pops concert in the park and we’re thrilled to return to the Zilker Hillside Theatre this year. Be sure to bring a blanket or low chair, along with your children, neighbors, and dogs as you relax on the hillside and enjoy the performance by the musicians and friends of the Austin Civic Orchestra.
This year’s concert is It’s About Time. The evening will be filled with favorites from Back to the Future, Somewhere in Time, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Groundhog Day, Avenger’s Endgame, Tenet, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Quantum Leap as the Orchestra, small ensembles and soloists take you out this time.
As a cherished tradition, we conclude the concert with Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever, conducted by a lucky winner drawn from the audience. This winner could be you!
