The Houston Symphony will offer free performances at Miller Outdoor Theatre on June 10 and 12, both conducted by Conducting Fellow Yue Bao; the concerts are the first in the orchestra’s annual summer venue after 2020 performances there were cancelled due to the pandemic. The first performance will feature brass, winds, and percussion, and will include a brass fanfare from Dukas’s La péri, Valerie Coleman’s Red Clay and Mississippi Delta, Tielman Susato’s Susato Suite for brass and percussion, Richard Strauss’s Serenade in E-flat for Winds, excerpts from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet Suite, and Astor Piazzolla’s Maria de Buenos Aires Suite, arranged for brass by Steven Verhelst. The June 12 program—also being live-streamed on the Miller Outdoor Theatre’s Facebook page, website, and YouTube channel—will feature Mozart’s Divertimento in D major for Strings, Elgar’s Serenade in E minor, Jessie Montgomery’s Starburst, and the “Jupiter” movement from Holst’s The Planets.
