Welcome to

Season 47

Harmonies of the World

The 47th Season of the Galveston Symphony Orchestra, Harmonies of the World, comes to a close with our grand finale, Her Voice, Her Story.

This Juneteenth celebration honors the legacy of Black women composers and performers including Undine Smith Moore, Florence Price, Ella Fitzgerald, and Diana Ross, recognizing their artistry and enduring influence across generations!

Upcoming Sunday at the Symphony Concerts

This Juneteenth, the GSO presents the complete Zodiac Suite by jazz legend Mary Lou Williams — a 1945 masterwork in twelve movements, each dedicated to a friend and fellow musician born under that astrological sign, including Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Art Tatum. A bold fusion of jazz, blues, and modernist classical writing, the suite holds a few surprises along the way. The first half features chamber works by trailblazing Black women composers Jessie Montgomery, Undine Smith Moore, and Florence Price, with the stage transforming between each piece — from solo violin to string quintet to intimate chamber groupings. An unforgettable celebration of the American sound.
