    History, Ghosts, & Legends: Paramount Theatre Tour


    The Paramount

    HISTORY ISN'T ALWAYS FOUND IN BOOKS. SOMETIMES IT'S FOUND IN THE RAFTERS...That's exactly what was discovered in the empty theatre as the stage was being cleaned. One inadvertent pull on some rigging slowly lowered into view the original 1915, hand-painted, asbestos fire curtain. It had been hanging, forgotten for over 50 years. In near perfect condition, its pastoral scene painted by Toomey and Volland in St. Louis is just one more story behind the history of the Paramount Theatre. COME EXPERIENCE THE STORIES BEHIND THE HISTORY. We will condense nearly 100 years down to 50 minutes. Built in 1915 and still operating today, you'll get the stories behind this historic variety and vaudeville house; its performers, history and a few ghost stories too. Note: Ghost appearances are up to their discretion.

    Michael Torke Showcase


    Austin Chamber Music Center

    With his two best known early pieces, Ecstatic Orange and Yellow Pages, written in 1985 while still a composition student at Yale, Michael Torke practically defined post-Minimalism, a music which utilizes the repetitive structures of a previous generation to incorporate musical techniques from both the classical tradition and the contemporary pop world. At 23, Torke cut short his graduate study to begin his professional career in New York City, where he was soon signed by Boosey and Hawkes (the publisher of Stravinsky and Copland), became an exclusive recording artist with Argo/Decca Records, and began his five-year collaboration with Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet.
