The Houston Symphony will visit its favorite summertime performance
spot, Miller Outdoor Theatre, for a FREE fall concert on Saturday,
October 12. The Mexican Institute of Greater Houston's Lunada,
night of the full moon, is a cultural event reminiscent of those held
in small towns and pueblos in Mexico, where community members come
together to share music, poetry and stories. The concert's repertoire
includes music by Montgomery, Bach, Vivaldi, Perkinson, Britten in
addition to two Tangos by Piazzolla.
Led by Guest Conductor Andrés Franco, this annual concert will
feature young musicians from The Sphinx Organization. As the Houston
Symphony continues to serve Houston's diverse citizenry, an important
partnership with The Sphinx Organization has been formed. The Sphinx
Organization's mission is to transform lives through the power of
diversity and provide numerous opportunities for talented, young, Black
and Latino musicians in the field of classical music. In addition to
this concert, several Sphinx musicians will perform in several area
churches and within HISD schools. Earlier this year, cellist Christine
Lamprea, winner of the 2013 Sphinx Competition performed as a soloist
with the Houston Symphony. The Symphony looks forward to additional
activity with Sphinx as both organizations understand the deep need and
meaningful benefits of diversity initiatives within our field.
