AUSTIN, Texas - PennZone -- Panoramic Voices, Austin's original community chorus, today announced the opening of their 25th Anniversary Season. The season will commence October 16 with a concert titled "All This Joy." After an extended hiatus during the Covid-19 pandemic, the organization's first concert of the season boasts almost 90 enthusiastic and diverse singers.

Experience "All This Joy" October 16

"All This Joy" is an homage to the little experiences that make us human, and the ways in which being part of a community enhances them. The program is a fun, upbeat mix of pop, video game & movie music, spirituals, and more, accompanied by Benjamin Dia (piano), Jill Csekitz (drums), Brittany Koep (bass), Trevor Shaw (guitar), Adrienne Inglis (panpipes), and Patrick Medina (sax).

Central Machine Works Brewery & Beer Hall at 4824 E Cesar Chavez St in East Austin, TX will host "All This Joy" in their cavernous, mid-century modern space, known for its live music offerings, small art gallery, and exceptional food and drink.
