The Houston Symphony presents Riots & Scandals Festival: Stravinsky Rite of Spring + Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto live at Jones Hall from Friday, January 20 through Sunday, January 22, 2023. A century after its riotous premiere, The Rite of Spring’s pounding rhythms, propulsive energy, and sheer sonic impact remain an electrifying experience unlike anything else in all of art. Music Director Juraj Valčuha leads this groundbreaking masterpiece as part of a two-week spotlight on works that scandalized the artistic establishments of their day. You’ll recognize Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 from the very first note, and in the hands of the sensational Khatia Buniatishvili, it promises to bring down the house. Revueltas’s rowdy and relentless Sensemayá opens the concert.

From February 17-19, Houston Symphony presents Debussy’s La mer live at Jones Hall. The performance captures the essence of the ocean so completely that you’ll practically smell the salt air and feel the cool splash of waves. It’s one of classical music’s most unforgettable and immersive experiences, whisking the listener through a glowing Impressionistic dreamscape of shimmering beauty and mystical, awe-inspiring power. Fragments of La mer ebb and flow throughout Tōru Takemitsu’s haunting concerto for two pianos and orchestra, Quotation of Dream. The conclusion of our Songs of the Earth festival, these concerts also offer the chance to experience Toshio Hosokawa’s breathtaking meditation on 
nature, Autumn Wind, which features a solo role for the shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute).

Houston Symphony presents an exhilarating, decade-spanning journey through Broadway’s greatest hits live at Jones Hall! Phenomenal Tony and Grammy nominee Jeremy Jordan performs songs from his signature Broadway roles in Newsies and Waitress, and showcases selections from favorite musicals like West Side Story, Carousel, Oklahoma!, Rock of Ages, and Les Misérables. Friday, February 24, 2023 at 8:00 PM; Saturday, February 25, 2023 at 8:00 PM; Sunday, February 26, 2023 at 2:30 PM
