A New Award- Hands Across Houston

I am creating a new sculpture for the Houston Choral Society for their special 20th Anniversary event to be held in the Cullen Theater at the Wortham Center. They will present a commissioned work by Adolphus Hailstork. This concert is a fund-raising event for Neighborhood Centers Inc., a private, nonprofit agency that provides social services to hundreds of thousands of Houston’s low-income children, families and senior citizens.

Here is some information about the event on the Neighborhood centers web site.

This composition is the centerpiece of a concert entitled “Hands Across Houston,” which commemorates Houston’s courageous response to our Gulf Coast neighbors in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for children, students and senior citizens. Sponsorship packages are also available.
