September 9, 2026 – When Instruments Roamed the Earth – Join The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion on Wednesday, September 9 for the Free Show “When Instruments Roamed the Earth” with the Houston Symphony. No Ticket Required! Gates open at 6 p.m., Show begins at 7:30 p.m. Nothing captures the imagination like dinosaurs. The near-mythical creatures that walked the earth long, long ago inspired the first drawings on cave walls, legendary dragon stories, some of the greatest movie music ever — and now a Houston Symphony show even bigger than the Patagotitan mayorum Titanosaur. In other words, this is a big deal. This show is for kiddos who love T-Rexes and Triceratops, for grown-ups who love to get a little Jurassic, and for classical music lovers who are already thinking about their favorite compositions about mythical creatures. The Houston Symphony is thrilled to overwhelm you with the power and wonder of dinosaurs and transport us all back to When Instruments Roamed the Earth. This special event will also feature Hats off to Reading, celebrating the joy of books, curiosity, and imagination. Hats Off to Reading will take place at 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in The Event Center where there will be games, activities, interactive performances and a wide selection of books for kids to pick from.

September 29, 2026 – Dead Symphony: The Music of Grateful Dead and More – Join The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion on Tuesday, September 29 for the FREE SHOW “Dead Symphony: The Music of Grateful Dead and More” with The Woodlands Symphony Orchestra. No Ticket Required! Gates open at 6:30 PM, Show starts at 07:30 PM. Some music isn’t just meant to be played. It’s meant to be felt, stretched, explored, and lived in. Dead Symphony brings the free-flowing, improvisational spirit of jam bands like Grateful Dead and Phish into a new dimension — performed by the incredible local musicians of the Woodlands Symphony Orchestra, led by Darryl Bayer. This isn’t a note-for-note recreation. It’s a reinterpretation — where symphonic textures meet extended grooves,where melodies evolve, and where every song has a life of its own. Expect swirling soundscapes, unexpected turns, and the kind of musical journey that rewards you for leaning in and letting go. Whether you’re a longtime jam-band devotee or just curious what happens when orchestral musicians tap into that same exploratory energy, Dead Symphony is a night built for discovery. Learn More

At-Home Neurofeedback for Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and More – Jaci Zahn, LPC-Associate at RESOLVE Counseling & EMDR Center, is excited to introduce at-home neurofeedback training! Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive way to help your brain learn healthier patterns of activity. Research shows solid evidence that it helps most people reduce symptoms of anxiety, improve sleep, increase focus, and enhance emotional regulation. For many people, neurofeedback also complements counseling and trauma therapies, such as EMDR, by helping calm the nervous system before deeper therapeutic work begins. If you’ve been looking for a drug-free approach to improving your mental wellness, at-home neurofeedback may be the next step in your healing journey.
