The Houston Symphony is an American orchestra based in Houston. Since 1966, it has performed at the Jesse H. Jones Hall for the Performing Arts in downtown Houston. The first concert of what was to become the Houston Symphony took place on June 21, 1913, sponsored by the Houston philanthropist Ima Hogg. Initially, the orchestra was composed of only 35 part-time musicians. Today, the Houston Symphony is part of the fabric of Houston. This vibrant group is currently conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Houston Symphony Pops flourishes throughout the year as well.
