Houston Symphony

Introduction

The Houston Symphony is one of the oldest professional orchestras in the United States, founded in 1913, predating even some branches of the New York Philharmonic. Its home is Jones Hall in the Houston Theater District, an elegant fan-shaped auditorium designed by Caudill Rowlett Scott with renowned acoustics and a Texas cultural landmark. The orchestra presents more than 170 performances each season, spanning classical masterworks, film score live-to-picture concerts, pop crossover shows, and family education series. Music Director Juraj Valcuha has led the ensemble to multiple Grammy nominations, and the playing ranks among the finest American orchestras. Beyond the classical season, the symphony frequently collaborates with pop stars, expanding the audience for orchestral music. Attending a Houston Symphony concert at Jones Hall is one of the best ways to experience Texass high culture.
