Talk about a boost for live music in Austin: The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded Texas Performing Arts at the University of Texas a $450,000 to expand the scope of its classical music program over the next three years.
And thanks to a few university officials, who are matching the Mellon gift, the program will get a total of $900,000 to complete its mission.
The funds will support interdisciplinary programming, artist residencies, composer commissions and the formation of a classical music task force.
