Nico Muhly has been described is a young leader in contemporary classical music. In this new composition, How Little You Are, he uses music and text to capture the sense of hope, fear and loneliness that defined the experience of Texas' original settlers as they pursued the promise of a better life.

Texas Performing Arts is proud to present Conspirare and Austin Classical Guitar together in an an amazing collaborative performance. Muhly's work, written for voices and guitars, will be conducted by Craig Hella Johnson and feature three world-class guitar quartets engaged by Matthew Hinsley. The program will also include performances with the Conspirare Youth Choir and Austin Classical Guitar Youth Orchestra.
