Join us on Saturday, January 23, 2027, at the luxurious Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston for an unforgettable evening celebrating The Magic of Music and the extraordinary artistry of the Houston Symphony. This glamorous evening will celebrate the joy and wonder that music inspires and its transformative impact on our lives. A highlight of Houston’s social calendar, the gala will be chaired by Bob & Katie Orr, with musical entertainment provided by Q The Band. This evening will also recognize honorees Houston Methodist with the Maurice Hirsch Corporate Citizenship Award, and Jane Cizik with the Stewart Orton Golden Baton Award.
A silent auction, chaired by Betty Tutor and Aoife French, will offer an exciting selection of luxury items and exclusive experiences, with proceeds benefiting the Houston Symphony.

This event supports the Symphony’s world-class artistic programming and industry-leading Education and Community Engagement initiatives that brings the magic of music to audiences at Jones Hall and in schools, hospitals, and other venues throughout the city. These activities include education programs that serve students in 26 area school districts and Health and Wellness initiatives that reach patients, their families, and caregivers at three Texas Medical Center hospitals.
