The Sounds of the Season are at the Houston Symphony! Music is a magical medium that makes the holidays special—can you imagine December without those familiar yuletide favorites? These unforgettable festive notes created by your talented orchestra make the season even brighter.

This holiday season, we are celebrating all that you do to help us share the joy of live orchestral music with our city—and we sure have a lot to celebrate! We had a strong start to the 2022–23 Season as we welcomed a new era of artistic leadership with Juraj Valčuha as our Music Director. And with an 88-member full-time orchestra comprised of some of the greatest talent from around the world, we have attracted some of music’s biggest stars to Houston. This season features performances with virtuosos such as Joshua Bell, Itzhak Perlman, Yefim Bronfman, Lise de la Salle, Camilla Thomas, and more!

We are also celebrating the expansion of our Education and Community Engagement initiatives. We continued our Student Concert Series, which we anticipate will serve 42,100 students this season, and launched DeLUXE K!ds In Harmony, a new program in partnership with the Fifth Ward Cultural Arts District and the American Festival of the Arts (AFA) that provides exceptional violin training and social development for 3^rd and 4^th grade students from Houston’s Fifth Ward neighborhood.
