Austin State University College of Fine Arts is seeking input in planning future programming for its University Series and Encore Events.
A survey seeking suggestions for the kinds of national/international touring acts audiences would like to see in Turner Auditorium will help provide direction for future seasons.

It includes the Reduced Shakespeare Company: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] on Sept. 11; the dynamic classical music ensemble SYBARITE5 on Oct. 18; five-time Grammy Award-winning Dailey & Vincent's Spirit of Christmas Tour on Dec. 11; the high energy Step Afrika! dance troupe on Jan. 25; and the contemporary high-octane Mexican string musicians the Villalobos Brothers on May 9. Encore Events include jazz great Branford Marsalis on Oct. 10 and The Purple Xperience, a Prince tribute, on Nov. 30. Some events are subject to change pending final scheduling.
