ROCO (River Oaks Chamber Orchestra), immersive theater company Horse Head Theatre Co., and design house Magpies & Peac*cks team up with the Houston Zoo to present PETER AND THE BEAR, an adaptation of Sergei Prokofiev's PETER AND THE WOLF.

Last night, Houston Ballet presented the American Premiere performance of David Bintley's spellbinding ALADDIN. The ballet, commissioned by National Ballet of Japan, had its World Premiere on November 15, 2008. For this opulent and mesmerizing theatrical treat, choreographer David Bintley pulls his inspiration from the original story; however, his ballet stills delivers everything fans of the 1992 Disney film expect from the story.

River Oaks Chamber Orchestra (ROCO) will take a unique musical voyage far and near this upcoming season titled Around the World in ROCO Ways. That theme is reflected in the 2013 - 2014 ROCO Chamber Series with a schedule of six Sunday afternoon concerts at Gremillion & Co. Fine Arts Annex. The ROCO Chamber Series features chamber groups drawn from within the orchestra. They are intimate concerts that highlight the virtuosity of individual musicians and ensembles and are intentionally designed to draw the audience into musical conversations.
