Telling the stories of the University of Houston, this is a UH Moment.
The music has played for twenty years, Immanuel and Helen Olshan began the Texas Music Festival
at the Moores School of Music to give promising young musicians like the ones you're listening
to now a challenging environment to audition, hone their craft and perform with professional
musicians, teachers and conductors. Director Alan Austin:
They perform a different orchestra program every week, they study chamber music, they're
coached and taught in private lessons. And for Houston what this has meant is a musical
destination for people both in town and from out of town.
A destination that results in four weeks of performances each summer. Here students with
the Texas Music Festival perform Johannes Brahm's Symphony No. 1 in C Minor.
I hope that we'll basically just continue training the great young musicians of today
to be the great musicians of tomorrow.
The Texas Music Festival is part of what's happening at the University of Houston. I'm
