Lago Vista Community Concerts presents free “No Kings Concert” on Oct. 27 at MATCH with stellar lineup

Houston-area composers, musicians, and singers will come together in the “No Kings Concert” to share their latest works to demonstrate solidarity and unity in light of recent authoritarian-like shifts in both our federal and state governments. The event, presented by Lago Vista Community Concerts Foundation and produced by Rice University professor Arthur Gottschalk, is free and open to the public. Musicians representing jazz, classical, and popular music include composers Richard Lavenda, John Cornelius and Edmund Cionek, who will each premiere works especially written for the occasion. Other notables: Rob Smith, Karl Blench, Simone Gundy, and Al Staehely, formerly of Spirit.
