Experience Classical Music to Ragtime Jazz, Classic Rock, and Beyond with the Houston Symphony

Take a musical journey through time as the Symphony pays homage to over a century of trailblazing Black artists, from classical music to ragtime, jazz, classic rock, and beyond! Rock out to Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze,” dance to Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer,” Florence Price’s exhilarating “Juba” Dance, and much more! This program will also feature an exceptional performance by American Idol contestant Douglas Mills Jr. and students from Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Canadian Conductor, Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, is co-creator of the program.
