The Houston Symphony Summer Nights at Miller Theatre

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE: Join your Houston Symphony for fun-filled evenings of world-class music presented by Spec’s/Spec’s Charitable Foundation!
Bring the whole family and immerse yourself in the timeless world of classical music. From beloved masterworks by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Dvořák to contemporary pieces that reflect the rich diversity of symphonic music today, each concert offers something to delight every listener.

And don’t miss the chance to witness the next generation of classical talent — your Houston Symphony will take the stage alongside an exciting roster of rising star soloists and up-and-coming conductors who are redefining what classical music looks and sounds like.

Concert details: "Storytelling and adventure take center stage in Korngold’s stirring Overture to Captain Blood. Rising-star violinist Njioma Grevious makes her Houston Symphony debut with Coleridge-Taylor’s lyrical Violin Concerto in G minor. A dazzling virtuoso showpiece for the musicians of the Houston Symphony, Strauss’s Don Juan will set spirits soaring. Dvořák’s joyful Carnival Overture closes the concert."

WHERE TO MEET: We will meet at 7:30 p.m. by the picnic tables near the concession stand. Then go to the hill and set up. If you can't make it at 7:30, we'll hold some space. Look for our location in the comments. The concert starts at 8:30. p.m.

The hill is divided with the left side allowing chairs and the right reserved for blankets. We sit on the chair side, but close enough to the middle to accommodate blankets.

WHAT TO BRING:
Chair or blanket, drinks and snacks. Blankets may have the view obstructed by chairs. Adult beverages are allowed but the city prohibits glass containers in the park. (We don't check.) It's always more fun when people bring snacks to share.
