The health and safety of our patrons, musicians, and staff is our top priority. The Houston Symphony, together with advice from multiple medical advisors and recommendations by the CDC, is implementing the below safety measures for upcoming concerts:
Current safety measures include:
- Mask-wearing is optional for all audience members while inside of Jones Hall; patrons must provide their own mask if they opt to wear one
- All Houston Symphony staff, ushers, musicians are vaccinated
- The Encore Café and in-hall bars will be open, and food and drink will be permitted in bar areas
- Cash will not be accepted at the box office, Encore Café, or in-hall bars
- No food is allowed inside the auditorium
- Patrons may bring drinks into the auditorium for POPS Series concerts and Symphony Specials. Drinks are not permitted inside the auditorium for Classical concerts
We recognize that, even with safety measures, some patrons may not feel comfortable attending in person and we are committed to bringing live music to you, wherever you are. Learn more about watching Symphony concerts from home.
