Journey Through Time and History with
Houston Ballet's Three for the Ages Aug. 20
Houston Ballet takes the audience on a journey through time and history with a special performance of Three for the Ages Aug. 20 at 8 p.m. This breathtaking program features three works by vastly different composers and choreographers: "Apollo," "Falling" and "Fancy Free." Tickets are $15 for orchestra seating. Mezzanine and lawn seating are free courtesy of The Wortham Foundation, George P. Mitchell and Cullen Trust for the Performing Arts. Tickets are not required for free seating. Gates open at 7 p.m.
"Apollo" (1928), a seminal piece in the history of 20th century ballet, traces the birth of the god of music, poetry and prophecy and his education by (and flirtation with) the three muses, Calliope, Polyhymnia and Terpsichore. "Falling" (2005), second on the program, is an elegant, playful piece set to the music of Mozart's "Salzburg Symphonies." The final piece of the evening, "Fancy Free" (1944), first premiered in New York City and proved to be one of the most exciting evenings in the history of American ballet. More...

Featured Artist: Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson: To the Sea Tour 2010 washes up on The Pavilion's stage Aug. 18. Starting at 7 p.m., G. Love & Special Sauce and ALO open for Johnson.
Before Johnson became known for his laid-back pop/rock style, he was a professional surfer in his home-state of Hawaii. A serious surfing accident led him to pursue his other interests including film and music. He studied cinematography at the University of California in Santa Barbara where he produced a surfing documentary titled "Thicker than Water." The soundtrack for the film featured many of Johnson's own songs, which showcased his songwriting abilities.
After receiving notice for his music, Johnson released his first album, "Brushfire Fairytales," in 2001, that later reached platinum status. Johnson recorded and released three more albums before reaching the top of the charts with "Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George" that debuted at number one in February 2006.
Experiencing a death in the family and moving away from Hawaii caused Johnson's 2008 album, "Sleep Through the Static," to take on a more somber vibe. The album went platinum in five weeks and Johnson toured throughout Europe, performing for some of his largest audiences yet. The live shows turned into the 2009 CD/DVD release "En Concert." Johnson's most recent album is "To the Sea," released in June 2010.
Johnson promotes his latest studio album throughout 2010, stopping at The Pavilion Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. For more information and to buy tickets, click here.
Check out the House of Blues Hospitality Tent now open at The Pavilion before, during and after the show!
It opens at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 18 for Jack Johnson: To the Sea Tour 2010 and remains open approximately one hour after the concert. Admission is free for all concert-goers.
