Thanksgiving Weekend: Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 7 & Shéhérazade

About this event

Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 7 & Shéhérazade will be performed live in Houston November 27–29, 2026 with the Houston Symphony at Jones Hall.

It’s a sumptuous musical feast with all the trimmings as Music Director Juraj Valčuha shares a bounty of delights, perfect for Thanksgiving weekend!

We’ll set the stage with soaring, lavishly romantic music from Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, composed by film score legend Bernard Herrmann. Then, be transported to the magical land of One Thousand and One Nights as Sasha Cooke joins the orchestra for Ravel’s bewitching Shéhérazade.

Originally written for a children’s radio program (and utterly delightful at any age), Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 7 sparkles with twinkling charm and fairy tale magic.
