The Houston Symphony’s Opening Night Concert and Gala celebrated the kickoff of Andrés Orozco-Estrada’s first season as the symphony’s 15th music director. More than 500 guests were present at Jones Hall for the concert. Then, the black-tie-clad guests entered The Corinthian for dinner and dancing to Colombian-inspired dishes and music. More than $585,000 was raised for Houston Symphony’s Education and Community Programming. Pictured are (from left) Beth Madison and Ralph Burch.
