Last week, the Austin Symphony Orchestra performed at Austin High School. A few AHS students from band and orchestra were also able to perform. Frank Jenkins, the Education and Community Engagement Manager for the Austin Symphony, had this to say about AHS hosting the event, "Thank you for helping to make today’s concert a great success. Your students performed beautifully. I heard many positive comments from musicians in the orchestra".
