    Austin's The Invincible Czars, return to Houston to help ring in the season with a special FREE Campus Concert at The University of Houston. Join KUHF and the Public Broadcasting Student Alliance as the Czars perform their wacky, rocked-out version of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.

    Each year, the Austin-based rock band THE INVINCIBLE CZARS perform their wacky rock version of the music from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, and each year it gets better! This new Texas holiday tradition began in December 2004 when the band introduced its version of the Suite to Austin at two shows: a children's matinee and a later, louder show aimed at the bands existing rock fan base. Since then, the group has continued the tradition yearly, entertaining people of all ages with their unlikely holiday hit.

    In 2007, the band self-released a studio recording of the Suite which became the seventh highest selling holiday CD at Waterloo Records that year. Their creative and whimsical version of the Nutcracker Suite has opened the door for many exciting performance collaborations with such organizations as Boys & Girls Clubs of Austin, Austin Children's Museum, Ballet Austin, the Houston Ballet, Wicked Cricket Dance Theatre and Graham Reynold's Golden Arm Trio.

    The event is presented in conjunction with Blaffer Art Museum's opening reception for the Annual Student Exhibition.

    FREE admission.
