    Classical Music for the World’s “East in the West: Sounds, Minds, and Dharma”

    Classical Music for the World’s spring festival commences with CMFW artistic adviser and cellist Francesco Mastromatteo performing a Bach-heavy program under the theme “Under the Cross” – a good fit for Good Friday. Other opening weekend entertainments (all entirely free, by the way) include classical guitarist Noemi Passiatore on Saturday and then a pairing of Mastromatteo and Passiatore on Sunday for a bill that spans Enrique Granados’ Goyescas to Ennio Morricone’s film scores. In total, the festival boasts seven nights of (again, entirely free!) music across three weeks, culminating in a May 4’s Love Concert: “Celebrating Oneness” at Fo Guang Shan Xiang Yun Temple, presenting sponsor. – Kimberley Jones

    Concerts in the Park

    ’Tis the season when Austin’s two biggest attractions – beautiful nature and live music – are often found at the same event. One such blissful union is found in the 23rd annual return of Austin Symphony Orchestra Hartman Foundation concerts on the lawn of the Long Center. All ages, species, pets, and children are welcome at this truly communitywide event, where locals can be found on Sunday evenings bringing a picnic and friends to lay out and listen to a world-class orchestra as they watch another day come to a close. The 2025 concert schedule includes brass, wind, and string ensembles playing a range of tunes from jazz to pop to film scores to classical. This is one of the magical things about Austin – and completely free. Locals and visitors alike should not miss, as it will continue every Sunday through June 29. – Lina Fisher
