Become A Donor

Your Symphony brings the world’s finest classical musicians and popular artists—including Broadway’s brightest stars—to perform alongside one of America’s most accomplished orchestras. But that’s just the beginning! The Houston Symphony is also nationally recognized for its innovative Education & Community Engagement initiatives, which enrich the lives of Houstonians from every corner of our community.

Your Donations

Your Gifts in Action

We serve over 400,000 people annually—including 200,000—through free and low-cost concerts and Community Engagement programs in hospitals, schools, memory care centers, and more!

The Harry and Cora Sua Mach Student Concert series engages around 43,000 students a season—more than double the number of students served by any other American Orchestra through a similar concert series.

The Houston Symphony stands as the only performing arts organization in Houston with 90 full-time, world-class musicians, dedicated to delivering breathtaking performances that inspire and captivate.

Special Events

Enjoy fine dining, great company, and unforgettable experiences—all in support of the Houston Symphony’s Education & Community programs.


The 2025 Opening Night Concert and Gala takes place on September 19, as Juraj Valčuha leads the Houston Symphony in a heart-pounding performance of Stravinsky’s iconic Firebird Suite, joined by soprano Angel Blue—making her Houston Symphony debut with Florent Schmitt’s beyond-epic Psalm 47.
