Founded in 1913, the Houston Symphony is one of America's oldest performing arts organizations, with a distinguished musical history. Maestro Hans Graf, who took the podium in September 2001, is the Houston Symphony's fifteenth music director.

The orchestra moved into Jones Hall, its current home, in 1966, and in 1971, the Symphony signed its first 52-week contract with the musicians. Today, the Houston Symphony is widely acclaimed as one of the top orchestras in the world. Each year the Houston Symphony performs approximately 170 concerts for more than 350,000 Houstonians.
