|
University of Texas at Austin is sponsoring its first summer music |
|
camp focusing on mariachi music and culture in 2013; and |

|
received national recognition for its outstanding programs in a |
|
wide range of study, including chamber music, jazz, composition, |
|
conducting, and vocal arts, as well as for its prestigious centers |
|
of excellence focusing on music education, opera, American music, |
|
and sacred music; the school, which is celebrating its 100th |
|
anniversary in the fall of 2013, was renamed in 2008 for Sarah and |
|
Ernest Butler, whose $55 million bequest was at the time the largest |
|
single gift ever made to a school of music at a public university; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Of special interest to many Texans are the music |
|
school's mariachi ensemble, which was established in 1977, and |
|
conjunto ensemble, which was created in 2006; the school's |
|
inaugural mariachi music camp has been funded through the generous |
|
efforts of Renato Ramirez of Zapata, and the program is welcoming |
|
students from across the state for intensive instruction on |
|
composing, arranging, and performing; the four-day camp concludes |
|
with a final performance in the Bates Recital Hall on the UT campus; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Individuals eager to study mariachi, conjunto, and |
|
other musical genres are greatly benefiting from the many |
|
opportunities provided by the Butler School of Music, and the |
|
school's faculty, staff, and benefactors are truly deserving of |
|
praise on the occasion of this milestone year; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the first University of Texas Butler |
|
School of Music mariachi summer music camp and extend to all those |
|
associated with this exciting program sincere best wishes for |
|
success. |
