The local community gathered to put Austin Symphony Orchestra conductor Peter Bay center stage.
Austin Symphony Orchestra Music Director Peter Bay takes the spotlight at last week's celebration of 25 years of his work and dedication to ASO
He is the face of an organization that has supported and enhanced the harmonic excellence of this live music capital for 111 years, nearly a quarter of them spent with Bay at the helm. It’s a legacy built on genuine passion, something wholly on display last Thursday evening as ASO celebrated his 25th year running – and sometimes stealing – the show.
Bay’s enthusiasm for the music was matched only by the attendees’ enthusiasm for him. Along with the in-person speakers, a number of congratulatory videos were sent in from out-of-town collaborators and colleagues, including trombonist Andre Hayward and violinist Midori Goto. Rep. Vikki Goodwin, D-Austin, presented Bay with a Texas flag that had been flown at the capital on behalf of his anniversary, a physical testament to the deep appreciation Bay has earned from peers across the state.
