Longview Symphony Competitors

The Houston Symphony is at the forefront of a new era of growth and transformation. With an ambitious vision for the future, we are committed to being a world-class orchestra and a cultural leader in Houston, creating extraordinary musical experiences for all. Our outstanding orchestra, dedicated staff and Board, and dynamic Music Director Juraj Valčuha provide the foundation for our success. Together, we will create a new era of musical excellence and community engagement that will inspire and enrich the lives of all who experience the Houston Symphony.

As distinctive and dynamic as the city it calls home, Ballet Austin welcomes people near and far to participate in its "classically innovative" vision for the democratization of dance. From their bustling, urban headquarters at the Butler Dance Education Center and Community School in downtown Austin, Ballet Austin and artistic director Stephen Mills actively engage the community, dancers, and audiences alike. With a rich history spanning 54 years, a commitment to education as well as lifelong fitness, and acclaimed productions in Austin and across the nation, the organization is equally committed to the international craft of dance as it is to the community it serves. The New York Times proclaims Ballet Austin "a company with big ambitions" originating work that is "absorbing."

When our founders assembled a group of musicians in 1912, they laid the foundation for what is now one of our community's greatest cultural assets. Today, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra serves a diverse audience of more than 200,000 children and adults through 200 concerts each year across North Texas. As the anchor of the Fort Worth arts community, the FWSO serves as the official orchestra for the Fort Worth Opera, Texas Ballet Theater, Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and Texas Christian University’s Pianofest. The FWSO also performs our own robust programming at two of the city's most celebrated venues: Bass Performance Hall, home to the FWSO’s pops and symphonic concerts, and the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, where the six-week summer festival Concerts in the Garden has served over 850,000 since its debut in 1991.
