DescArtistic Endeavors: Under Music Director Juraj Valcuha, the Houston Symphony continues its second century inspiring and engaging a large and diverse audience in Houston and beyond through exceptional musical performances and creating enduring impact in the Houston community. Today, with an operating budget of $40.7 million, the full-time ensemble of professional musicians presents more than 130 concerts annually, making it the largest performing arts organization in Houston. Continued on Schedule O Artistic Endeavors (continued): After the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Symphony remains committed to livestreaming its 2024-25 Season to a broad audience in over 45 countries and all 50 states, one of few American orchestras dedicated to transmitting live performances to a sizeable audience outside its home city through this technology.Highlights of the 2023-2024 classical season began with Music Director Juraj Valcuha opening his second season as Music Director conducting Poulenc's Gloria; as well as performances of Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique; Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances and Ravel's La Valse; Mahler's Symphony No. 6; Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, Eroica; Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs and Alpine Symphony; and a spectacular semi-staging of Richard Strauss' opera Salome. Memorable returning guest artists this season included conductors Christoph Eschenbach, Fabien Gabel, Michael Krajewski, Andres Orozco-Estrada, Itzhak Perlman, David Robertson, Lucas Waldin, and Xian Zhang; pianists Behzod Abduraimov, Emanuel Ax, Alexandra Dariescu, and Jean-Yves Thibaudet; violinists Augustin Hadelich, Lang Lang, Itzhak Perlman; sopranos Erin Morley and Lauren Snouffer; mezzo-soprano Kelley O'Connor; baritones Mark S. Doss and Andrew Foster-Williams; and vocalists Norm Lewis and Tony DeSare. Making Houston Symphony debuts in the 2023-24 season were conductors Jeannette Sorrell and Thomas Wilkins; pianist Seong-Jin Cho; violinist Valeriy Sokolov; sopranos Amanda Forsythe, Jennifer Holloway, Susanna Phillips, and Rachel Willis-Sorensen; mezzo-soprano Linda Watson; countertenors Daniel Bubeck, Brian Cummings, and Nathan Medley; tenors John Daszak and Ed Lyon; baritone Davne Tines; bass-baritone Kevin Deas; vocalists Mandy Gonzalez, Crystal Monee Hall, and Catherine Russell; and jazz ensemble The Marcus Roberts Trio; as well as brilliant soloist turns from Houston Symphony Concertmaster Yoonshin Song and Principal Cello Brinton Averil Smith. Principal POPS Conductor Steven Reineke launched his seventh season with special guest star Norm Lewis in a concert of great Broadway showstoppers. Former Principal POPS Conductor Michael Krajewski was joined by a rock super-group of musicians for "GO NOW! A Tribute to The Moody Blues." Guest conductor Lucas Waldin lead the orchestra and vocal soloists in rafter-shaking diva anthems; Steven Reineke and the orchestra were joined by Tony DeSare for "Swingin' Sinatra: A New Year's Celebration," by the Marcus Roberts Trio for a new take on Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and by Cyrstal Monee Hall and Josh Sklair for "At Last! A Tribute to Etta James." Steven Reineke also led a program of contemporary Broadway hits before closing the season with "The Music of Star Wars" that included music from all nine Star Wars films.Desc

DescEducation and Community Engagement: The Houston Symphony is committed to increasing the quality of life in Houston by addressing priority community issues including education, healthcare, building community between disparate populations, and improving the welfare of underserved populations. The Symphony accomplishes this by presenting an extraordinary range of music education and community engagement programs both inside Jones Hall and in community venues throughout the Greater Houston area. Continued on Schedule OEducation and Community Engagement (continued): Through nearly 1,000 events with Houston Symphony musicians and community-embedded musicians, the Society serves a wide range of Houstonians that reflects the diversity of the city in partnership with schools, community centers, hospitals, and other non-profits. Whether they are students, cancer patients, refugees, or homeless families, we put the people we serve first, asking how music can best meet their needs. Our goal is to remove economic and geographical barriers to music so that Houstonians from all walks of life can benefit from the art form. Traditionally, Houston Symphony Education and Community Engagement programs serve nearly 200,000 Houstonians of all ages and backgrounds each season, and these activities represented an investment of $5.0 million, or more than 13% of the annual organization budget, during the 2023-24 Season.Desc
