HOUSTON (Aug. 29, 2017) – The Houston Symphony announced today the cancellation of the first subscription concert of the BBVA Compass POPS Series, Ella at 100, due to the impact of Hurricane Harvey.
The performances were originally scheduled to take place Sept 1-3 at Jones Hall for the Performing Arts (615 Louisiana Street) in Houston’s Theater District, which received some water penetration. While the Jones Hall stage and auditorium show no discernible damage, all levels of the Theater District Garages are flooded and are therefore completely unusable. They will be closed for repairs until further notice.
Ticket holders will be contacted by a Patrons Services representative at a future date to assist them with exchanges or ticket donations. For information, please visit houstonsymphony.org.
