Fourth and fifth grade members of the Barton Hills Choir will be performing a special 8 minute set Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center before the Davis Cup Quarterfinal tennis matches begin. Immediately prior to the national anthem the choir will sing the patriotic favorite This Land Is Your Land, followed by sock hop hits Help Me Rhonda/Tossin’ and Turnin’, Love Potion Number Nine, and Splish Splash.

Gavin Tabone will direct and accompany the choir on keyboards, accompanied by Aaron “Hair Doctor” Dembe on electric guitar and Jake “Mr. Bubbles” Perlman on drums. The choir and musicians rehearsed at a sound check in the Erwin Center Thursday. You can view photos by Lynn Williamson and Alec Harris in this Flickr photoset.

This will be the largest indoor arena the choir has ever performed in, and since tickets to the event are sold out the expected crowd of 15,000 will be the largest audience to see them live. Watch this web site for photos and video of their performance coming soon!

Barton Hills Choir to sing at downtown pianos

Events / 323 views No Comments »

The Barton Hills Choir will be hiking and singing on Wednesday, April 6, with stops at four pianos located along the downtown Austin hike and bike trail.

Fourteen pianos were recently placed around downtown Austin by artist Johnny Walker as part of an interactive art exhibit called Play Me, I’m Yours. The exhibit is part of an international project started by artist Luke Jerram in London in 2008. A concurrent exhibition is underway in Adelaide, Australia.

The choir will begin singing at the piano located at Lou Neff point in Zilker Park at 3:45. Next are the two located on the Pfluger pedestrian bridge across Lady Bird Lake near Lamar Boulevard at about 4:10. The choir will finish at the piano in Butler Park (atop Doug Sahm Hill) around 4:30. Maps and more information about the piano locations are available at the Austin project web site.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear the beautiful voices of our students along the hike and bike trail as they bring some extra sunshine to our springtime!
