From festivals spotlighting today’s arts and music to museums showcasing our rich and varied history, Austin possesses a wealth of cultural offerings.
The University of Texas' Performing Arts Center and other world-class facilities attract nationally and internationally renowned artists and performers throughout the year, as well as Broadway shows. Concerts and public events at UT's newly renovated Frank Erwin Center feature everything from the latest pop and rock artists and country music legends to the Ice Capades and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus. During the basketball season the Erwin Center is also home to the nationally ranked UT men's and women's basketball home games.
The soon to be constructed Long Center for the Performing Arts will serve more than 250 performing arts groups in Central Texas as well as area school children. The Austin Symphony, along with Ballet Austin and the Austin Lyric Opera, offer a variety of programs and concerts throughout the year.
