Music Commission Meeting Musical Performances:
- Music Commissioners take turns recommending a musician or band from the district they represent to present a video performance and answer questions about their music at each regular meeting. To determine your Austin Council District, look up your home address, then contact the corresponding Music Commissioner for your Council District. These opportunities are compensated; contact Erica Shamaly for additional information.
