Bright Moments with Rahsaan Roland Kirk recently concluded on 118 public school campuses in Austin, Del Valle, Manor, and Round Rock.  An estimated 36,000 children received performances and classroom workshops. 

Many thanks to the skilled and hard-working musicians who made this season possible: James Polk, Floyd Domino, David Webb, Alex Coke, Russell Remington, Michael Melinger, Randy Zimmerman, Ron Westray, Ken George, Glenn Rexach, Michael Stevens, Art Kidd, and Rob Kazenel.
