Maestro's Dream 2026

Maestro's Dream: A Journey Through Time 

Honoring

The Women's Symphony League of Austin


Event Chair

Jeani Smith

 

Get ready for an evening unlike any other: a celebration that sweeps you through centuries of musical genius in a single, spectacular night. Picture yourself transported from Mozart's Vienna to Rachmaninoff's Russia, then catapulted forward to the bold sounds reshaping classical music today.

 

Since 1911, the Austin Symphony Orchestra has been Austin's original voice in live performance. More than a century of artistry. More than a century of excellence. In a city that crowned itself the Live Music Capital of the World, the ASO wrote the opening chapter.

 

Through every cultural shift and musical revolution, the ASO has remained the gold standard, honoring tradition while fearlessly embracing innovation. This February, we're not just looking back at our legacy; we're celebrating how it propels us forward.

 

Join us for an extraordinary evening where history meets tomorrow, and where every moment reminds you why great music is timeless.
