THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- This year marks The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion’s 25th Season of presenting exceptional performing arts events, educational outreach programs and live music. The Pavilion opened April 27, 1990, with the Houston Symphony. Other performers in the inaugural season included Frank Sinatra, Alabama, Garth Brooks, James Taylor, Heart, Jimmy Buffett, Santana, Depeche Mode and more. George P. Mitchell, founder of The Woodlands, along with his wife Cynthia Woods Mitchell, for whom The Pavilion is named, dreamed of creating a first-class performing arts facility for The Woodlands since the community’s inception in 1974. They envisioned the facility as a venue for classical performances and educational events, as well as popular music.

Continuing with the great tradition of hosting classical performances, The Pavilion’s 2014 Performing Arts Season is filled with an exciting line-up including jazz legends, Spyro Gyra & Lee Ritenour, Houston Ballet’s Celebration of Stanton Welch, Houston Grand Opera’s “Carmen” and Houston Symphony’s See the Music, The Songs of Billy Joel with Michael Cavanaugh and DISNEY IN CONCERT "Magical Music from the Movies". Other thrilling concerts include the Houston Symphony’s Best of Beethoven, Star-Spangled Salute and Hocus Pocus Pops as well as Wagner & Maazel’s “Ring Without Words” with the Texas Music Festival Orchestra and Holly Jolly Jingle. At the 19th Annual Children’s Festival fun takes center stage with award-winning children’s performers that encourage children to do the things they love most – flex their imaginations, express themselves, learn and grow. At most performing arts events, mezzanine and lawn seating are free. Free seating sponsors include Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, H-E-B, Huntsman, Insperity, KPMG, LLP, Talisman Energy, the Wortham Foundation, Woodforest National Bank and The Woodlands Development Company. Orchestra seating for most events is $15. Guests are welcome to have a picnic in their seat or on the hill. Keep in mind that beverages cannot be brought into The Pavilion. Sitting on the hill?
