Did you know? • The first Cirque de la Symphonie performances took place at Jones Hall with the Houston Symphony in 2006. The blend of circus arts and live orchestral music was the brainchild of aerialist Alexander Streltsov and then Principal Pops Conductor Michael Krajewski. Since its debut, Cirque de la Symphonie has become a favorite with audiences nationwide.
