For Immediate Release - ROCO’s Season 18 Connections Series returns to The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston on October 20 with “Seen,” and The Heritage Society on October 29 for an evening of family fun, music, and history with “Musical Trick or Treat”. 

Inspired by the kaleidoscope of faces, personalities, and cultures found within the artworks of MFAH’s collections, “Seen” will feature music celebrating the human experience, paired with projected art from the collections of MFAH. Curated by ROCO Principal Clarinetist Nathan Williams, the program highlights work from a variety of composers including Poulenc, Montgomery, Bernstein, and Gershwin, and is presented in collaboration with MFAH. After the concert, attendees will have the opportunity to experience a docent-led tour of the Museum, to view artworks featured.

On October 29, “Musical Trick or Treat” attendees will start with a reception in The Heritage Society Visitor Center at 4:30 pm, with special guest Houston historian Mister McKinney joining to share background on The Heritage Society and its homes. Following, individual ROCO musicians will begin performing at 5:00 pm, with each solo performance located in a different Heritage Society historic home. Guests will split into groups rotating from home to home for  musical trick-or-treating, enjoying short selections by each musician and getting to know the history of each building from on-site docents.
