NYE, HS Style

Want to end the year on a high note? Then join the Houston Symphony for their New Year’s Eve Concert. Conductor Brett Mitchell leads guest soloist Timothy Jones and the Houston Symphony Orchestra in a program ranging from Haydn’s Symphony No. 101 (Clock), to Bernstein’s West Side Story to Strauss’s Radetzky March. Bass-baritone Jones just performed Porgy and Bess with Opera Pacific and La Cenerentola with Opera Birmingham; selections from both are also on the schedule, so his appearance should be a highlight of the evening. Say goodbye to 2007 with style at 8 p.m. Centrum Center, 6823 Cypresswood Drive in Spring. For tickets and information, call 281-440-4850 or visit www.cypresscreekface.org. $30 to $60.
