The Pavilion will kick off its 30th season of presenting the arts to The Woodlands and beyond with a community celebration featuring a special performance by The Boston Pops on Tour Thursday, March 21, at 8 p.m. Renowned Principal Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart and “America’s Orchestra” will celebrate the music of John Williams, one of the greatest film composers of all time. Mezzanine and lawn seating are free. Presented by Woodforest National Bank, tickets are $35-$50 for reserved orchestra seating. Gates open at 6:30 p.m.
To commemorate the anniversary season, The Pavilion has partnered with graphic artist Carlos Hernandez to design a limited edition poster for our supporters. The first two thousand people to enter the gates at the event will receive this limited edition poster.
Community members are invited to join the celebration with pre-concert festivities in the North Plaza starting at 6:30 p.m. including arts and crafts, The Pavilion Partners Instrument Petting Zoo, sponsor activations and more. Guests are encouraged to stop by The Pavilion’s memory wall for a step back in time to reflect on their favorite shows, stories and experiences at the venue throughout its history.
“We are honored to provide top-quality live performances to our community and to our region. And like the initial dream of Cynthia Woods Mitchell in 1990, it is intended to be affordable and accessible in keeping with the venue’s mission of fostering new audiences and enhancing an appreciation of the arts. I hope The Woodlands residents bring their families to The Pavilion to support our performing arts events. Having The Boston Pops on Tour perform in The Woodlands on our stage is a once in a lifetime event and I hope we pack the house,” says Jerry MacDonald, president and CEO of The Pavilion.
Guests are welcome to bring a picnic from home or their favorite restaurant to enjoy in their seat or on the lawn. Keep in mind however, that beverages are not allowed to be brought into The Pavilion and picnics must comply with The Pavilion’s bag size restriction and/or be in original packaging. Examples include pizza within a pizza box or chips in original sealed packaging. Please visit The Pavilion’s website for more information on these restrictions. For those wanting to sit on the hill, lawn chairs also are provided free for this event.
