Opening Night Concert & Gala


Houston Symphony 2010 Opening Night Gala

September 11, 2010

Honorees
Barbara and Ulyesse LeGrange

Chairs
Nancy and Robert Peiser  


The Houston Symphony's Opening Night Gala, Vienna Soirée, raised more than $250,000 for the Symphony's Music Matters! education and community engagement programs.

Maestro Hans Graf led the orchestra in a program featuring two selections that captured the sounds of Vienna -- Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante, featuring our newly-appointed concertmaster Frank Huang, and Stauss’ Blue Danube.

Following the concert, the festivities continued in the lobby of the Bank of America Center, where party goers enjoyed a sumptuous feast by the incomparable Jackson and Company and dancing to the sounds of Toast and Jam.
