THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Guests are invited to join us for an enchanting adventure with The Cynthia Woodlands Pavilion and Woodlands Symphony Orchestra at Once Upon a Symphony Wednesday, September 18, 2024. This family-friendly concert will be packed with stories that have inspired generations, including classical and popular music selections from Sleeping Beauty, The Chronicles of Narnia, Disney’s Tangled, Lord of the Rings, The Wizard of Oz and more. Tickets are not required for this completely free event and gates open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show.

“We are honored to return to The Woodlands Pavilion Main Stage to open our ‘Storybook Season,’” said WSO Artistic Director Darryl Bayer. “Fairy tales are not just stories for children; they are an inspiration to us all. For this concert—and throughout the season—we invite our community to join your Woodlands Symphony on a magical journey full of fantasy and adventure.”

Step into an enchanted fairytale at The Pavilion’s Hats Off to Reading celebration in the Event Center. In partnership with Conroe Independent School District, the FREE and festive literacy event begins at 5:30 p.m. and encourages early reading by offering various literacy-based activities such as games, making reading pointers, storytelling time and so much more. Children also have the opportunity to choose and take home a FREE book! All are invited to join Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast for her storybook theater on the stage.

Pre-performance activities in the North Plaza will begin at 6:30 p.m. and include fairy-tale themed crafts and games, making music at the Instrument Petting Zoo and sponsor activations.

Guests are welcome to bring a picnic from home or their favorite restaurant to enjoy in their seat or on the hill. Keep in mind that beverages cannot be brought into The Pavilion and picnics must also comply with The Pavilion’s bag size restriction and/or be in original packaging.
