Mother's Day at the Capitol

  • South Steps of the State Capitol 1100 Congress Ave. Austin, TX 78701 (map)

Celebrate a beautiful day with Mom by taking her to a free concert in her honor at the State Capitol. The air will be filled with a diverse blend of melodies and rhythms, from the rich, complex layers of Ponchielli's Sinfonia to the stirring patriotic strains of Sousa’s marches. Ticheli’s lively Tex-Mex on the Riverwalk and the elegant Jazz Suite by Shostakovich promise to keep toes tapping, while Gershwin’s timeless tunes evoke a nostalgic charm.
