On July 8, the Houston Symphony will present an introduction to popular classical favorites enhanced by large scale images, both still and moving, on The Pavilion’s LED screens. Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance are $20 for reserved orchestra seating and the lawn and mezzanine are free. Gates open at 7 p.m.

The conductor, Francesco Lecce-Chon will host the evening, explaining what the audience should be listening for throughout the pieces as well as snippets of historical and biographical information on the music and composers.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Symphony and guest conductor to The Pavilion for this great opportunity to introduce new audiences to iconic pieces of music,” said Jerry MacDonald, president and CEO of The Pavilion. “We are certain that it will be a unique and entertaining evening for all in attendance.”

Pre-performance activities begin at 7 p.m. in the North Plaza. Children and parents can visit The Pavilion Partners Arts & Crafts Booth and Instrument Petting Zoo as well as activities by Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse and Woodforest National Bank. Guests also can register-to-win Tommy Bahama’s “Best Seats in the House” and participate in Fidelity’s Seat Exchange.

At the symphony, guests are welcome to have a picnic in their seat or on the hill and lawn chairs are provided for free!
