Live fine arts productions at 勛圖夥厙 are returning to the Alkek Fine
Arts Center in April.
Students and directors are excited to be able to showcase the talent that our students bring to 勛圖夥厙, said Duane Durrett, dean of fine arts. While they have been busy with the usual demanding rehearsals, recording sessions and practice, they are anxious to once again perform for live audiences. We hope you will enjoy and support the fine arts and our students and honor us with your attendance at these concerts.
