Today I received the Houston Symphony brochure describing the upcoming 2025/26 season. There is a lot of film music in the lineup.

Alfred Newman's WUTHERING HEIGHTS suite will be played in a regular symphony program including works by Elgar and Mozart (March 13, 14 and 15).

There will be four films during which the score will be played live in concert.

STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI (January 9 and 10)
JAWS (June 20)
UP (June 21 and 22)
HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE (June 27, 28 and 29)

Good to see film music receiving a higher profile here in H-Town!

I miss the Houston Symphony. Really solid orchestra and the one season I spent in their box office was my first music-related job. I'm sure these will be excellent performances. Really wish I could hear the Alfred Newman in particular; I wonder how it will play with an older audience primarily coming for concert hall works...

Yes, that'll be interesting. But it's especially nice to see the Newman lumped in with other "serious" works, just like it belongs there -- as opposed to an all-film music program. Those are nice, but it always strikes me as a concession by the symphonies programmers.
