What do you get for the music lover who has everything? According to new scientific research, experiences like concerts are more likely to contribute to long-term happiness than, well, a bunch of stuff. According to Cornell University psychologist Dr. Thomas Gilovich, “New things are exciting to us at first, but then we adapt to them.” Experiences, in contrast, help people bond with one another: “We consume experiences directly with other people, and after they’re gone, they’re part of the stories that we tell to one another.” There’s no better way to make lasting memories than with a great orchestra concert, so this holiday season, skip the usual stocking stuffers and give your loved ones the gift of music! From Mozart to Chris Botti, the Houston Symphony has something for everyone. Even if you aren’t sure which concerts to get, we’ve got you covered with our Holiday Gift Passes and Gift Cards.
