-AVO is taking a break until further notice...

D. Brown Fisher (click name for more info):

AVO director, AVO producer, and AVO performer is too busy working on his personal artwork and music to muster enough time and focus to produce an ensemble this year. Be on the lookout in future years for more music and fun from Austin Volunteer Orchestra as the evolution continues...

2005 AVO ENSEMBLE

As anticipated, AVO is bringing together a new grouping of musicians for 2005. Early plans for WonderJam in Amsterdam are in the works, but not yet confirmed. AVO Kid's Music Ensemble will play the WonderJam in Austin benefit for Instruments for Orphans at Threadgill's South on August 21, 2005 (early time slot to start the day for the kids and parents). And be on the lookout for random ensembles popping up at WonderJam in Houston and WonderJam in Austin for encore jams and more.

We are trying out loose ensembles among the bandmembers playing these events to see what might come up musically. You just never know with so many founding ensemble members in the mix and so much talent on WonderJam stages, anything is likely to happen. Get to a show and find out what the music is about.

Check back for updates...

AUSTIN VOLUNTEER ORCHESTRA:'FOUNDING ENSEMBLE' 2004
PREMIERES WOW MUSIC CROWDS

In a sign of great things to come, the premiere gigs of the Austin Volunteer Orchestra: 'Founding Ensemble' went off in style in both Houston and Austin. AVO headlined the first full-out fundraisers -- at Houston's indomitable Last Concert Caféé and The Parish in Austin -- for Instruments for Orphans (IFO), an Austin-based charity that collects musical equipment for, and gives musical instruction to, children in Children's Provider Homes. IFO is a darling effort we here at AVO want to see grow with our help.
