Dream Big!

League of American Orchestras 79th National Conference

Hosted by the Houston Symphony

June 6-8, 2024
Marriott Marquis Houston
Houston, Texas

 
 
 
 

We can’t wait to welcome you to Houston, one of the most diverse cultural and culinary destinations in the country! You’ll connect with orchestra peers from communities across the nation to experience three days of incredible learning, networking, and music.

This year’s theme is Dream Big! — and there is no better place to do that than Houston. Beyond the maxim "everything’s bigger in Texas,” Houston is known as the world capital of space exploration; the International Space Station’s phone number even has a Houston area code!

So let’s get wide-eyed together, take in the scale and richness of our location, and dream. Let’s imagine new ways to deepen relationships with our audiences and communities, to forge pathways to financial sustainability, to creatively use AI, to increase diversity and inclusion both on and offstage, to grow artistically, and to invite the voices of the next generation to help shape what comes next. 

See you in Houston — the city where even the sky is not the limit!

With best wishes,
