Texas Music Festival Orchestra II: Caballé-Domenech Conducts Respighi & Prokofiev

Saturday, June 14, 2025

7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Daring, glamorous, fantastic, and thrilling! Fairy tales come to life in the Moores Opera House. The Texas Music Festival Orchestra, led by one of Spain’s most renowned and established conductors, Josep Caballé-Domenech, perform Respighi’s enchanting Fountains of Rome.  Houston’s own hometown-virtuoso violinist, Kirsten Yon, performs Prokofiev’s alluring and adventurous Violin Concerto, followed by music from the ballet Cinderella – a sonic fairy tale that music lovers of any age will love.

This concert is a celebration of Houston’s home-grown arts. Join us as we celebrate our local Art Car Parade and Art Bike Parade winners, plus other local artists that make our city great.

As part of the ongoing enhancements to our campus through the Wilhelmina’s Grove Renovation (March 2024–October 2025) and the upcoming Loop Road Construction (December 2024–October 2025), several areas near our venues will experience temporary closures and access adjustments. 

Please note: 
  • Zone B / Parking Lot 16 will be closed from May 23 to August 1, 2025. 
  • Phase 1 construction in front of the Moores School of Music will be completed in July 2025, and fencing in that area will be removed.
