Jones Hall for the Performing Arts
Jones Hall brings the Houston Symphony into a downtown concert hall with distinctive architecture and acoustic design. Attend for the music, leaving time to notice the lobby and auditorium.
The contrast between spaces is part of the appeal: a tall lobby opens into a hall lined with teak, red seating and an array of hexagonal ceiling elements. Those overhead elements can be adjusted to alter the acoustics. Outside, white Italian marble and tall columns distinguish the building from its downtown neighbors.
What to look for
Richard Lippold’s hanging bronze Gemini II occupies the tall lobby.
Adjustable hexagonal acoustic elements cover the auditorium ceiling.
White Italian marble and tall columns define the exterior.
Useful to know
Arrive with time to look around the lobby before taking your seat.
Check the concert listing for the program and arrival details rather than using box-office hours.
