A Houston hotel is set to welcome guests to a luxury fundraising evening this January.
The Houston Symphony Ball is set to feature luxury French wine pairings, a gourmet multi-course dinner by Executive Chef Jean-Luc Royere, and a luxury silent auction. The event will also include a live band, Q-the Band, for dancing to keep attendees entertained.
Table sponsorships at the event will begin at high-tier levels starting at $15,000, with individual tickets also available from $1,800. All of this will be in support of the Houston Symphony’s education and community engagement programs across various venues throughout the city. These activities include Health and Wellness initiatives for families, patients and caregivers at three Texas Medical Center hospitals, as well as education programs that serve students in 26 area school districts.
Chaired by John and Lindy Rydman of Spec’s Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods, the gala allows individuals and companies to donate to the auction. Guests can, therefore, expect to find a variety of luxury items, trips, and even experiences at the event. At such events, sponsors may use business card printing to network among corporate tables.
Taking place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the Post Oak Hotel in Uptown Houston, guests are encouraged to reserve early, given the limited seating arrangements. Formal or black-tie attire is a necessary requirement for all guests during the event.
