STXSA Ribbon Festival

The STXSA Ribbon Festival is a wonderful opportunity for students to have a positive performance experience that will be adjudicated by an expert panel of music teachers. Students will perform during a designated studio time slot. After their performance, students will receive a written critique from a clinician, giving them positive feedback on their performance and also ideas for further progress and improvement. Every student participating receives a medal on a colorful ribbon that they can wear as a symbol of their achievement.

  • Fee: $35 STXSA Members or $45 Non-Members

  • Attire: Students can wear formal attire of their choice

Houston Symphony Violin Concerto Performance

Join Con Brio at a symphony concert! We can get a group rate with 10 or more attendees.

Filled with irresistible melodies and staggering virtuoso demands, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto is one of the best-known and best-loved concertos of all time—and it’s in good hands with the Symphony’s Concertmaster, Yoonshin Song. Known for beautiful melodies and a haunting ending that fades into silence, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 channels an entire world of emotion. Exploring the meeting point of beauty and chaos, Anna Thorvaldsdóttir’s Metacosmos is “a rumbling, shimmering sound sculpture that completely envelopes and astonishes” (NPR Music).

Houston Symphony Violin Concerto Performance

Join Con Brio at a symphony concert! We can get a group rate with 10 or more attendees.

Grammy Award winner James Ehnes (“a violinist in a class of his own,” The Times) sets toes tapping and spirits soaring with Dvořák’s exuberant Violin Concerto. Discover a new favorite composer as Juraj Valčuha shares music of Vítězslava Kaprálová, who left a powerful stamp on the music world despite her tragically early death at the age of 25. Blazing with triumphant fanfares and powered by an extra-large brass section, 12 trumpets strong, Janáček’s Sinfonietta closes the program with festive flourish.
