OOO Presents Songs About Love

This event is exactly what it sounds like – a chance to relish sweet operatic nuggets that will make your heart all a-flutter. Drop into this lovely lil’ lunchtime treat on Thursday, February 12, 2026. At about 35 minutes, it’s the perfect length for a quick pick-me-up.

Featuring Austin singers Kevin Arratia-Diaz, Ayden Crocker, Annisha Mackenzie, & Anneliese Sandoval
with Ben Tibbetts, piano

We’ll see you there! FREE, inclusive, and open to all. Part of the longstanding Thursday Noon Concert Series in the acoustically gorgeous Central Presbyterian Church sanctuary (also a SXSW venue!).

PARKING: Free parking at the Capitol Visitors Garage (a 9 min walk) or for $10 at the First Baptist Garage (~5 min walk). There is also street parking (sometimes harder to find) and parking at the Omni Hotel across the street (a little pricey, but super close). Cap Metro stops nearby as well.
