Joshua, our Chinese voice major, is completing his studies at UT and will return to China at the end of this month. He has invited us to his recital. I plan to go. It is Wednesday, Oct 27th at 8PM in the Recital Hall (not Bates Recital Hall). Map attached. Hope you can go. He is singing primarily western music.
The Texas Book Festival was established in 1995 by First Lady Laura Bush, a former librarian and an ardent advocate of literacy. Mrs. Bush created a task force to plan the book festival to honor Texas authors, promote the joys of reading and serve to benefit the state’s public libraries. The first Festival took place at the Capitol in November 1996; the Festival has quickly evolved into one of the premier literary events in the country, annually hosting over 200 Texas and nationally known authors. Approximately 40,000 visitors participate annually in a weekend of author readings and presentations, panel discussions, book signings, and musical entertainment at the State Capitol in Austin.
