New Outdoor Concert Series and Public Art Installation at City Place this July
July is heating up at north Houston’s City Place, where a range of family-friendly programming will take place on and around the central Plaza at 1250 Lake Plaza Drive – Spring, TX 77389 throughout the month.
A new, complimentary concert experience, Hot Night, Cool Grooves debuts on Saturday evenings – July 6, 13, 20 and 27 – from 6-9:30 pm. Guests can anticipate a lively showcase of popular regional artists from a variety of genres. Seating is open, and blankets and low-profile lawn chairs and are welcome.
In its ongoing commitment to presenting innovative, site-specific installations, City Place has commissioned Austin-based artist and musician Steve Parker to create a new experiential journey for guests. The pop-up piece “Invisible Music” debuts July 20 and utilizes repurposed brass instruments to orchestrate a symphonic meditation on nature in picturesque City Place Park. The sculptural brass pieces are re-engaged to a soundscape adapted from French composer Eric Satie’s “Furniture Music” and set against a sonic backdrop of nature sounds, including insects, birds and bats, within native fauna and flora. Additionally, a series of interactive sculptures placed in the greenspace surrounding the pond can be activated by participants, altering the overall musical composition. Open to the public and free of charge, “Invisible Music” can be experienced daily from 7 am until 10 pm through September 15.
The Peach Truck rolls into City Place on July 21 from 4:30-6:30 pm. Visitors can pre-order the famed, fresh-from-the-orchard peaches for pick up or purchase a box on site while supplies last. To preorder visit www.thepeachtruck.com, enter zip code 77389, select City Place. Twelve pounds boxes are priced at $45 each.
City Place – formerly Springwoods Village – is a sustainable, forward-thinking and dynamic hub for business, leisure and living located at the axis of the Grand Parkway, Hardy Toll Road and Interstate 45. Spanning 2,000 acres, protected forests and natural ecosystems coexist beautifully within an architecturally significant, built environment that has attracted major employers such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, ExxonMobil, HP Inc., Southwestern Energy, St. Luke’s Health and the American Bureau of Shipping, along with a daytime workforce approaching 20,000. Complementing two existing residential enclaves – Audubon Grove and Harper Woods – in addition to several luxury apartment communities, a new development initiative will soon add a multitude of single and multifamily housing options. Miles of trails connect an array of amenities including three Marriott hotels, more than 30,000 square feet of indoor meeting and event space, 4.75 million square feet of office space, a 150-acre nature preserve, 10-screen Star Cinema Grill dine-in theater, 38,000-square-foot 24-Hour Fitness super sport club, The Market – Houston’s first LEED Certified multi-tenant retail development – and a 60-acre, mixed-use urban core that frames a programmed, waterfront plaza and park.
