The King of Pop's Music Lives On
at The Music of Michael Jackson
with the Houston Symphony



From his early years with the Jackson 5 to his mega-hit album "Thriller" and beyond, Michael Jackson stormed the music industry with hit after hit. Join The Music of Michael Jackson with the Houston Symphony June 8 for an evening filled with fabulous music spanning 40 years of Jackson's influential and celebrated career. This concert is sponsored in part by "Houston Family Magazine." Tickets are $20 for orchestra seating. Mezzanine and lawn seating are free courtesy of Insperity and Woodforest National Bank. Tickets are not required for free seating. Gates open at 7 p.m.

The concert takes the audience through each era of this storied performer from "ABC," "I'll Be There" and "Got To Be There" through "Beat It," "Thriller," "Rock With You," "The Way You Make Me Feel" and many, many more.

Bridging the gulf between pop and classical music, conductor and arranger Brent Havens takes the podium for a program he scored to extend the listening experience of Jackson's exceptional tunes. Performed with the Houston Symphony and amplified with a full band and vocals, Havens and his ensemble capture Michael's distinct sound while presenting some familiar as well as new musical colors.

Arrive early for pre-concert activities in the North Plaza beginning at 7 p.m. with Woodforest National Bank, The Pavilion Partners, Fidelity Investments, Century 21 Realty Partners, Renewal by Andersen, Radio Disney and "Houston Family Magazine."

At all symphonies, guests are welcome to have a picnic in their seat or on the hill. Keep in mind that beverages cannot be brought into The Pavilion. Sitting on the hill? Lawn chairs also are provided free for this event!
