WELCOME TO REVEL
A New vision for classical music
REVEL is a classical band devoted to presenting terrific chamber music concerts that move, delight and inspire––we call them revels. This means that the focus is on sharing and celebrating great music, not protocol. It means that you can come as you are, clap when you feel like it, and let yourself get caught up in the music like no one is watching. In an effort to cultivate both an understanding of classical music and an appreciation for its place in modern society as a relevant, living art from, our mission is to bring an exceptional classical music experience to the community that is devoid of all pretension, and yet exhibits the highest artistic caliber.
When we hosted our launch party in March of 2009 at The Church House in Austin, we weren’t quite sure what we were up to. Now that we’ve produced dozens of different programs, released our first CD, and performed in numerous venues around the country and the world, something important has become very clear:
We’re not sure who invented the rule that you have to sit up straight in prim rows in formal clothing and complete silence to hear Classical music. But it doesn’t apply here.
