	Peter and The Wolf October 26, 2013, 10 am & 11:30 am Robert Franz, conductor No piece is more of a family classic than Prokofiev’s masterpiece Peter and the Wolf, brought to life through the narration of an actor, and joined by a cast of characters speaking through the instruments of the orchestra.

	How the Grinch Stole Christmas December 14, 2013, 10 am & 11:30 am Robert Franz, conductor Music will tell the beloved 1957 Dr. Seuss tale of the grouchy creature with a heart “two sizes too small,” his loyal dog Max, and their encounters with the merry and warm-hearted Whos. A guest vocalist from the Houston Grand Opera Studio will join a local high school chorus and the musicians of the Houston Symphony to take you into the world of Whoville. Bring your entire family for this delightful celebration of the holiday!
	Wild, Wild West! January 25, 2014, 10 am & 11:30 am Robert Franz, conductor Before moving to Jones Hall in 1966, the Symphony and the Rodeo were neighbors at The Music Hall and The Coliseum. Join us as we honor this historical connection during our Centennial Season with a program that explores the sights and the sounds of the Rodeo. Head out to the range with music from Hoedown and Billy the Kid. Dive into what makes Texas, Texas, when a rodeo cowboy and performers from Theater Under the Stars help us explore our western heritage through song.
	Belle of the Ball April 26, 2014, 10 am & 11:30 am Robert Franz, conductor Featuring music from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and more.

Graceful dancers will partner with the Symphony, together with the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts Chorale, to create the atmosphere of a royal ball. Dress as a prince, princess, the beast, or other magical characters.
