Previews for 2021-2022
Well, it is Summer and things at least appear to be getting back to whatever we can each recall as “normal.” This is the time of year when our arts organizations announce their schedules for the upcoming classical music season of 2021-2022. While COVID-19 restrictions are still being thought through, our major music companies have given INTOWN Magazine their performance schedules, some complete, some still waiting for C-19 guidance. In this issue, we feature the seasons of the Houston Symphony Orchestra and Houston Grand Opera. Houston Symphony Orchestra
