Upcoming Concerts and Events
The 1st session of LMATX’s Fall ’25 semester will take place on Sunday the 24th of August from 2:30p.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Salvation Army Citadel, 4700 Manor Rd, Austin, TX 78723. Please reserve that date on your calendar. The calendar for the full semester is available in the member’s section of our website: LMATX.org.
We will start the session off with a short member’s meeting that will include a vote for 2 board members followed by a reading session of possible music for the Fall ’25 Concert. This semester’s theme will be “The Unknown Composer”, everyone’s favorite composer – Anonymous! I will post the music onto our Box page at least 2 weeks prior to the 1st session and will then send out an email with the link.
Everyone is encouraged to bring a musician friend to the session, even if they are not early musicians. We have lots of instruments that are available for loan and many modern instruments translate well to early instruments.
All instrumental rehearsals this year will also be live streamed on Zoom so that our out-of-town members can participate. Zoom links will be sent out to on-line participants 1 week prior to the sessions.
We are looking forward to another great semester and hope that you will be able to join us.
Past Concerts
From the influences of Martin Luther to the harmonic language standardized by Bach, Germany was central to the development of Western music and instruments. Lauda Musicam of Austin’s capped reeds, vocalists, strings, and recorders, among other less familiar instruments, take the spotlight in this concert of music by Schütz, Schein, Scheidt, and more.
New World — Old World
Give eare to the clocke
Time makes golden locks turn gray, morning turn to night, and winter turn to spring. Lauda Musicam of Austin looks to past composers to see how they pondered time.
