Spotlight: PNC Family Series

The Houston Symphony’s PNC Family Concert Series returns for another season of fun and educational orchestra concerts! This series, which takes place on Saturday mornings at 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., is open to children of all ages and includes interactive concert experiences, themed arts and crafts activities, and our popular Instrument Petting Zoo. This season’s series features exciting concerts, including Celebrating Black Composers: Ellington, Hendrix, Price & More; Ho-Ho-Holiday!: Polar Express, Frozen, & More; Blast Off to Space!; and Fairy Tales for Kids!

Starting with the 2021–22 Season, PNC Bank has sponsored the Houston Symphony’s Family Concert Series as part of their unwavering commitment to preparing children, particularly underserved children, for success in school and life. Research shows that 90% of a child’s brain develops by age five. Research has also proven that exposure to music education and music-making experiences in a child’s early years can lead to markedly accelerated brain development. PNC Bank believes that it’s never too early to invest in a child’s future and supports initiatives that help young minds flourish. Through the Houston Symphony’s PNC Family Concert Series, PNC seeks to provide everyone increased and equitable access to the arts—even the youngest concertgoers.

The Houston Symphony thanks PNC Bank for all they have done and their continued support!
