Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of the Houston Symphony is to inspire and engage a large and diverse audience in Greater Houston and beyond through exceptional orchestral performances, educational programs and community activities.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Orchestral performances, educational programs, and community activities.

  • Artistic Endeavors: Under Music Director Juraj Valcuha, the Houston Symphony continues its second century inspiring and engaging a large and diverse audience in Houston and beyond through exceptional musical performances and creating enduring impact in the Houston community. Today, with an operating budget of $42 million, the full-time ensemble of professional musicians presents more than 150 concerts annually, making it the largest performing arts organization in Houston. Continued on Schedule O Artistic Endeavors (continued): After the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Symphony remains committed to livestreaming its 2025-26 Season to a broad audience in over 45 countries and all 50 states, one of few American orchestras dedicated to transmitting live performances to a sizeable audience outside its home city through this technology.Highlights of the 2024-2025 classical season began with Juraj Valcuha opening his third season as Music Director conducting the first of three mini-festivals of the season, entitled Bohemian Rhapsody, featuring Bohuslav Martinu's Czech Rhapsody, and Dvorak's iconic Symphony No. 9, From the New World. Other Valcuha highlights included the Vienna Calling and Fairytales mini-festivals, a concert performance of Bartok's Duke Bluebeard's Castle, and Mahler's Third Symphony. Memorable returning guest artists this season included conductors Christoph Eschenbach, Andres Orozco-Estrada, Matthias Pintscher, Jason Seber, and Michael Tilson Thomas; pianists Yefim Bronfman, Kirill Gerstein, and Daniil Trifonov; violinists James Ehnes, Hilary Hahn, Leila Josefowicz, Simone Lamsma, and Yoonshin Song; violist Joan DerHovsepian; cellists Brinton Averil Smith and Yo-Yo Ma; oboists Jonathan Fischer and Colin Gatwood; clarinetists Mark Nuccio and Christian Schubert; bassoonists Rian Craypo and Elise Wagner; trumpet Byron Stripling, horns Ian Mayton and William VerMeulen; mezzo-soprano Marina Prudenskaya; and vocalists Mandy Gonzalez, Capathia Jenkins, Isabel Marie Sanchez, and Ryan Shaw; and vocal ensembles Pink Martini and Rajaton.Making Houston Symphony subscription concert debuts in the 2024-25 Season were conductors Tabita Berglund, Jonathan Cohen, Domingo Hindoyan, Sir Donald Runnicles, and Dalia Stasevska; pianists Bruce Liu and Cedric Tiberghien; trumpet Pacho Flores; mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova; baritones Gabor Bretz and Svatopluk Sem; and vocalists Carmen Bradshaw, Dan Domenech, Lena Hall, Chloe Lowery, Leo Manzari, and Jessica Vosk.Steven Reineke launched his eighth season as the Houston Symphony's Principal POPS Conductor with special guest vocalists Capathia Jenkins and Ryan Shaw, performing the greatest hits of Diana Ross and the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, and more in Ain't No Mountain High Enough: The Music of Motown. Triple threat Byron Stripling (conductor, trumpet, and vocals) led the orchestra, vocalist Carmen Bradford, and vocalist/tap dancer Leo Manzari in jazz hits from the era of The Cotton Club, in It Don't Mean a Thing: Swingin' Uptown Classics. Steven Reineke returned to lead the orchestra in traditional carols and holiday favorites in the great Houston holiday tradition: Very Merry POPS, with the Houston Symphony Chorus, and special guest, Broadway's Jessica Vosk. Pink Martini with China Forbes: 30th Anniversary Season rang in the new year, and Reineke returned with guest vocalist Lena Hall for a performance of great Bond themes from Sean Connery through Daniel Craig. Mandy Gonzalez joined Reineke and the orchestra in Showstoppers! Celebrating the Iconic Women of Broadway. Cirque de la Symphonie returned to Jones Hall for Cirque Rocks!, and Steven Reineke led the orchestra and special guest ensemble Rajaton in music from the storied career of the Brothers Gibb in Stayin' Alive: The Bee Gees & Beyond, before closing the POPS season with John Williams & Steven Spielberg: Movie Magic.

  • Education and Community Engagement: The Houston Symphony is committed to increasing the quality of life in Houston by addressing priority community issues including education, healthcare, building community between disparate populations, and improving the welfare of underserved populations. The Symphony accomplishes this by presenting an extraordinary range of music education and community engagement programs both inside Jones Hall and in community venues throughout the Greater Houston area. Continued on Schedule OEducation and Community Engagement (continued): Through nearly 1,000 events with Houston Symphony musicians and community-embedded musicians, the Society serves a wide range of Houstonians that reflects the diversity of the city in partnership with schools, community centers, hospitals, and other non-profits. Whether they are students, cancer patients, refugees, or homeless families, we put the people we serve first, asking how music can best meet their needs. Our goal is to remove economic and geographical barriers to music so that Houstonians from all walks of life can benefit from the art form. Traditionally, Houston Symphony Education and Community Engagement programs serve nearly 150,000 Houstonians of all ages and backgrounds each season, and these activities represented an investment of $5.0 million, or more than 13% of the annual organization budget, during the 2024-25 Season.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 1a
The Society provides the Executive Director a membership to a dining club due to the social and fundraising aspects of his position. The cost of this benefit is reasonable, customary, and necessary. The Society paid a total of $1,185 of membership fees during the current fiscal year. This amount was not treated as taxable compensation. The membership was cancelled in August 2024.
Part I, Line 7
The Music Director's other reportable compensation is comprised of conducting fees for each concert he performed in the season and a travel allowance.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
