Treat Mom to something special this weekend!

Andrew Schneider is a pianist and vocal coach and holds a B.Mus., summa cum laude, in music composition from Rice University, and in 2009, was a finalist in the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers Competition. Regarding Opera, Andrew has served as a music director for a production of Sweeney Todd and has coached Ariadne auf Naxos for the Kingwood Summer Opera.
The Czech Center Museum Houston provides unique education experiences based on authentic objects, art, music, stories and lives of Czechs, Slovaks and people of all cultures, who left their country to seek liberty and democracy in America. The museum’s purpose is to inspire people to learn from those who sought freedom despite being occupied by oppressing rulers and systems. The museum strives to be an accessible resource, actively encouraging the study, appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of diverse cultures and traditions.
Families are sure to love this cultural celebration, just in time for Mother’s Day. Admission to the Mother’s Day Opera Concert is $15. Tickets may be purchased online at www.czechcenter.org.
