Andre 3000 visits the Butler School of Music
Andre 3000, who gained fame as part of the popular hip-hop group Outkast, recently stopped by the Butler School of Music to talk to flute students about his newest album, New Blue Sun, and his love for playing the flute. Andre spent over an hour with the flute students, many of whom had seen him perform at the Moody Center the previous night. What began as a question-and-answer session quickly transformed into a vibrant exchange of ideas, with Andre connecting with most students on a first-name basis. The discussion was anything but a group of fans geeking out over a superstar; rather, it was a gathering of like-minded people united by their love of the flute. Andre’s roots in hip-hop only came up once, when a student asked about the difference in stage fright between rap and classical music. Andre 3000 remarked that classical music is much more daunting, explaining that he could perform with OutKast while thinking about what to eat that night, whereas with classical music, “you have to be present 100 percent of the time.”
Butler School of Music's 2024 Big Sing: A Big Success
The 2024 Big Sing at the University of Texas at Austin, hosted by Professors J.D. Burnett and Suzanne Pence, was a tremendous success, attracting nearly 400 high school students and their teachers. Participants prepared in advance by mastering two pieces of music, which allowed them to focus on their performances during the event. The day featured a lively celebrity appearance by Hook’Em, who entertained the crowd with a piano rendition of "Chopsticks." Students divided into groups for rehearsals and enjoyed a concert by Butler students before culminating in a grand performance of "Holding the Light" that filled Bates Hall to capacity. Burnett praised the students' musicality and maturity, inviting them to return for the next Big Sing in 2025.
