Texas Music Festival Orchestra II: Cinderella

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.

Respighi: Fountains of Rome
Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No. 1 in D; Suite from Cinderella
