Point of Departure: Houston’s Classical Music Variety Show is a one-of-a-kind music series that presents thematic programs of classical and classical-adjacent music in a 70s variety show-style format, complete with skits, banter, costumes, lighting, and more. Each show stems from a main idea; the point of departure!
From jazz clubs of the 1960s, to 19th-century Parisian music salons, to modern-day indie specialty shops, hot beverages and music have always made a great pair. Coffeehouse Music Salon explores spaces where people come together over a cup of Joe to share musical ideas and artistic inspirations.
