Murdered on March 12, 2018, by a bomb left on his doorstep, 17-year-old bass prodigy Draylen Mason’s final performance occurred at the Austin Youth Orchestra’s spring concert last year. Dedicating a free, 3pm program of Ives, Gershwin, Price, and Copland to him this Sunday, AYO underlines March 3 being proclaimed Draylen Mason Day by the city of Austin. The Tribute to Draylen concert starring Shakey Graves follows later this spring.
