The Sounds Of The Houston Symphony
If you are looking for a little bit of fine musical entertainment the next time you are in the Houston, Texas area, be sure to stop by to be delighted by the Houston Symphony. The symphony was founded back in 1913 and is known to be one of the oldest performing arts organizations in America. There have been many wonderful leaders of the talented orchestra over the years bringing them to the top of their performing abilities.
There are approximately 170 concerts performed each year at the Houston Symphony, entertaining more than 350,000 people. Some of the amazing performances include: Time Warner Family Concerts, the Gold Classic Series, Messiah Performances at Christmas, The Houston Chronicle Dollar Concert, and many more.
The design inside the Houston Symphony is just amazing as well. Interior design includes a gorgeous scarlet carpet, teakwood and travertine marble accents, and stunning sixty-six foot ceilings. Once you get inside you can also enjoy a glass of exquisite wine, a steamy cappuccino, or gourmet desserts while you wait for the performance. All of this makes for quite an enchanting and entertaining experience.
