A Houston summer tradition, these fun-filled, family-friendly evenings showcase outstanding local, national, and international soloists and conductors alongside the outstanding musicians that make up your orchestra. For more than 80 years, concertgoers of all ages and backgrounds have experienced the beauty of music through classical masterpieces and popular selections.
Houston audiences are treated to a concert highlighting the brass, winds, and percussion sections of the Symphony in [concert title at 8:30 p.m. Bao opens the program with two short works: a two-minute Fanfare for brass choir from Dukas’s La péri, and Red Clay & Mississippi Delta for wind quintet, a blues-inspired chamber music work by Valerie Coleman. The program continues with Tielman Susato’s Renaissance-era Susato Suite for brass and percussion, Richard Strauss’s melodic and lyrical Serenade in E-flat major, Op. 7 for 13 wind instruments, and brass arrangements by Andreas Tarkmann to excerpts from Prokofiev’s Suite from Romeo and Juliet, Opus 64, one of ballet’s greatest scores.
