Join us for a one-of-a-kind musical experience as the Victoria Symphony Orchestra presents an evening set to dazzle music lovers of all stripes. This time, the spotlight is on the one and only Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, a name synonymous with musical ingenuity and timeless charm.
Winner of four Grammy Awards including “Best Male Country Vocal Performance” and “Best Country Album”, Singer, composer, and actor Lyle Lovett bring his blend of country, Americana, blues, and jazz to the Victoria stage in one of his few performances with symphony orchestra! Born in Houston and a graduate of Texas A&M, Lovett’s musical career has taken him across the world and has releases on the MCA, Highway, and Verve labels. Touring as a duo, with his acoustic band, or his large band, this Texas legend brings his unique blend of styles to the Victoria stage for our 50th season!
For years, the name of CHICAGO has been synonymous with the band who brought us 25 or 6 to 4, Beginnings, Make Me Smile, and Saturday in the Park. Join us for a tribute to this worldwide phenomenon by CHICAGO Nights starring Jason Scheff, long time Lead Vocalist for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted band CHICAGO—“The Voice of CHICAGO across four decades.”

Featuring the Victoria Ballet Theatre
Through the Schools | Grades 1-5
Sergei Prokofiev’s classic work for children—a symphonic fairy tale in which each character is represented by a different orchestral instrument—becomes a dazzling theatrical and musical event. In collaboration with Victoria Ballet Theater, the concert follows Peter as he tries to capture a menacing wolf that threatens orchestra and audience alike. Students will be introduced to the instruments of the orchestra and the Peter and the Wolf characters’ musical themes before they step into Peter’s adventure.

The music of George Gershwin is about memorable tunes, jazzy styles, and above all immediate recognition worldwide. We will be presenting two of his most famous works from Paris to bluesy rhapsodies all in one concert! To top it off, the successor to the symphony crown of Beethoven will follow in Brahms First Symphony, an orchestral tour de force that took the art of the symphony to new levels beyond Beethoven! If you came to hear Beethoven’s Fifth, you’ll love Brahm’s First!
GERSHWIN……………An American in Paris
GERSHWIN……………Rhapsody in Blue
BRAHMS………………..Symphony #1 in C minor
