Think all classical music was written by a bunch of dead Europeans with names like Mozart and Bach? Meet John Adams. The Pulitzer Prize winner is not only living but American. His 1993 Violin Concerto is the centerpiece to today’s Houston Symphony’s Leila Josefowicz Plus Brahms’s Firstconcert. The program begins with conductor Thomas Dausgaard taking the orchestra through their paces with Brahms’s First. They’re joined by guest artist violinist Leila Josefowicz for Adams’s concerto for the second half. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Jones Hall, 615 Louisiana.
