Maestro Peter Bay on the 2022 collaboration:

“My thanks and gratitude to everyone on the Arts Committee and the City of Lakeway who allowed us the privilege of combining the talents of the wonderful students at Lake Travis High School with those of the Austin Symphony Orchestra. This concert was one of the most gratifying in which I can remember taking part, especially to hear the level of playing from the students rise from the first rehearsal to the concert. And to have such a large and enthusiastic audience present made the experience even more meaningful to us all.”
– ASO Conductor and Director Peter Bay
