We are so excited to continue our popular Austin Guitar Salon series with a performance by Janet Grohovac and Chad Ibison in the gorgeous Lakeway home of Jim and Jennifer Judkins.

Jim serves on our Board of Directors as chair of our marketing committee. Supporters of many of our programs, he and Jennifer can often be found in attendance at our Austin Guitar Salon concerts, so it made plenty of sense when we began talking about holding a special event at their home in Lakeway!

Get your tickets online here or call us at 512-300-2247.

If you have not yet joined us for Austin Guitar Salon concerts, we look for special architectural treasures, and we always begin with a delicious reception of wine, cheese and charcuterie. By special request, our reception at the Judkins’ home will come from Antonelli’s Cheese Shop, but Julie Stoakley, our Director of Events, has also found Artisan Bistro in Lakeway who will provide delicious deserts like the chocolate tarts and macarons you see here!

The Judkins’ home has walls of windows with a panoramic view of Lake Travis. Built in 1979, the home features xeriscaping and mature oak trees. Constructed with native white limestone, it was designed by Rice and UT architect Jack Kenneth Dempsey.

We are particularly excited to share the artistry of Chad Ibison and Janet Grohovac, two artists we work with whenever we have the opportunity. Most recently, they worked on our Lullaby Project, a program designed by Carnegie Hall to work with at-risk mothers that we carried out in Austin in collaboration with Any Baby Can. Here is a recent video of a live studio performance they gave of L’Encouragement by Fernando Sor.
