The six-event series will take place June 10 through June 20, 2025, across three Houston venues: Jones Hall, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the historic Eldorado Ballroom. Named in honor of the Eldorado — a significant space for touring Black musicians in the U.S. from the 1940s to the 1970s — the series pays tribute to Houston’s Third Ward, where Solange embarked on her artistic career.
On Dissonance (An Evening of Classical, Symphonic, and Opera Works)
