Hobby Airport (HOU).
With the recent approval from Houston City Council, Harmony in the Air has secured funding to welcome 11 new musical groups, further diversifying the program's offerings. These talented professional musicians, including five quartets, two trios, and two solo performers, will begin captivating audiences beginning in July with a vibrant repertoire encompassing classical, jazz, country western, Latino music, pop and R&B.
"We are incredibly excited to introduce these exceptional musicians to Harmony in the Air," said Maricela Kruseman, Founder and Program Director. "Their arrival marks a significant step in our program's growth, allowing us to touch the lives of even more passengers with the beauty and power of live music."
