MUSIC

The Houston Symphony’s annual Sounds Like Fun! series returns with FREE public concerts at locations throughout Houston. A relaxed and dynamic experience designed for the whole family to enjoy, each performance comes with pre-concert access to the Instrument Petting Zoo, which gives children of all ages the chance to try their hand at performing an orchestral instrument.

This year, thrill to the adventures of brave princes and magical firebirds as the Symphony performs music illustrating Russian folk tales. Associate Conductor Robert Franz or Assistant Conductor/American Conducting Fellow Brett Mitchell draw younger listeners into a deeper appreciation of symphonic music by leading interactive discussions from the stage.
