Masterworks V: Motion & Memories Sunday, April 19, 2026
ABOUT THE CONCERT:
Houston’s world-renowned FotoFest turns 40, and we are thrilled to mark this milestone with an unforgettable collaboration. Experience Philip Glass’s mesmerizing The Photographer, brought to life with striking visuals from Eadweard Muybridge’s iconic motion studies — a groundbreaking fusion of music and imagery.
We’ll rev up our minimalist engines with John Adams’s Short Ride in a Fast Machine, one of the most electrifying and demanding works in the orchestral repertoire. To close our Masterworks season in grand style, we unleash the full force of Prokofiev’s magnificent and fiercely powerful Symphony No. 5 — a triumphant finale you won’t want to miss.
