Thursday Concert Coordinator

Kathi Thomas has loved music most of her life, from hearing Ferrante & Teicher  and Roger Williams as a child when her parents played their records, to Pete Seger & Peter, Paul & Mary when her sister played her albums, to piano lessons, band and a major in music. Kathi was a music major at Sam Houston State University on a full music scholarship, and then transferred & finished her degree at UT Austin, where she was a member of the Longhorn Band, Wind Ensemble, UT Orchestra, and Sigma Alpha Iota, (national music fraternity for women.) Following college, Kathi taught band for a year in SE Texas, and then left to go into her family’s florist business. Kathi is still in the floral business, but also enjoys music as an avocation. She plays in the Hill Country Community Band and Longhorn Alumni Band, and was formerly a member of the CPC Handbell Choir and the Austin Symphonic Band.

As volunteer Concert Coordinator, Kathi is responsible for booking musicians for 49-50 Thursday concerts each year. She considers these concerts a gift to the city of Austin and has volunteered for this program since 2003. She is appreciative of the generosity of the musicians of the greater Austin in helping these concerts survive and thrive since their beginning in 1980.
