Jones Hall

Jones Hall is a concert hall and performing arts center in downtown Houston with more than 2,400 seats arranged across multiple levels. The space features specialized acoustic panels designed to adapt to different types of performances, from orchestral concerts to theater productions.

The hall opened in 1966 as part of a major initiative to establish Houston as a performing arts center in the southern United States. This founding marked the beginning of the city's important role in the region's artistic landscape.

The Houston Symphony Orchestra calls this hall home, drawing audiences from across the region to experience classical music together. It has become a gathering place where people share in live musical performances and connect with one another.

The venue is accessible by public transit via the METRORail red line, and multiple parking garages are located within walking distance of the entrance. Arriving early helps secure parking, especially on weekends and during larger events.

The building features movable acoustic panels that allow the sound to be adjusted based on the type of performance. This makes it possible to present both symphony concerts and theatrical productions with optimal audio quality.
