🎶 SMART Musicians Around Town! 🎶

We love seeing our SMART Orchestra musicians making music throughout our community—and this weekend, you’ll have two opportunities to catch some familiar SMART faces performing at Texas State University! 🎺🎶

These performances will feature all three of our talented SMART Orchestra interns, along with two members of our trumpet section! We’re incredibly proud to have these musicians as part of the SMART family and even prouder to support them as they continue performing, learning, and sharing their talents beyond our stage.

Check out the posters below for all the details, and if you’re looking for some great live music this weekend, go show our SMART musicians some love! 💙

We’ll always be proud to cheer for our musicians—whether they’re on the SMART stage or somewhere else in our community. 🎼👏
