including "I Won't Back Down," "Free Fallin" and "Learning to Fly." We welcome conductor Brent Havens and vocalist Tony Vincent back to the Main Stage to present this great opportunity to introduce new audiences to some iconic pieces of music with a classical twist.

We were very fortunate to have Tom Petty play on the Main Stage nine times during his lifetime. The first time Tom played The Pavilion was October 30, 1981, 28 years ago. His last performance at the venue was April 29, 2017, just months before the legendary musician passed away.

Next month will be a busy one as we present the Houston Ballet's Mixed Repertory program on May 4 and a full production of La Bohème by the Houston Grand Opera on May 22. Then, on May 30, we invite you to kick off summer with a concert and movie at How To Train your Dragon in Concert.

Every scene of this movie's score will be enriched with the sounds of the Houston Symphony as the film is shown on the big screens.

I want to thank everyone who joined us on March 21 to celebrate the kick off of our 30th anniversary season here at The Pavilion. The Boston Pops and conductor Keith Lockhart put on an incredible performance on The Main Stage.

All of our performing arts events offer free lawn and mezzanine seating. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy in their seat or on the hill. Keep in mind that beverages cannot be brought into the venue and picnics must also comply with The Pavilion's bag size restriction and/or be in original packaging. Bring your family, friends and neighbors to The Pavilion and experience the arts under the stars this season. See you on the hill.

Vocal i st

Tony Vincent grew up in the small town of Albuquerque, NM, where from a young age he was exposed to the music of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. In his early teens Vincent began writing songs heavily influenced by Depeche Mode, New Order and Tears for Fears. While attending University (Nashville, TN), Vincent started a makeshift record company out of his dorm room and recorded a five-song EP, which led to a recording contract with EMI records. The two solo albums (Tony Vincent, One Deed) followed producing six #1 Billboard radio singles.

Shortly after moving to NYC in 1997 to continue his recording career, Vincent took an unexpected detour into the world of rock-based theater, joining the cast of RENT, initially as part of the first national tour, then making his Broadway debut in the New York production in 1999. He was featured as Simon Zealotes in Andrew Lloyd Webbe's remake of the film Jesus Christ Superstar (2000), and when the production was revived on Broadway that same year Vincent earned critical acclaim starring as Judas Iscariot.

In 2002 Vincent originated the role of Galileo Figaro in the rock band Queen's smash hit We Will Rock You in London's West End. He also fronted the band itself on several occasions, including a performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" at Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee concert and over 200 million television viewers world-wide.

Two years later he was invited to Las Vegas to open the North American premier of We Will Rock You. Vincent is best known for his appearance on the second season of NBC' reality singing competition, The Voice.

While on the show, Vincent was selected to be on "Team Cee Lo," and made a lasting impression on fans worldwide with his final performance of The Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams." After 10 long months of writing, recording and producing, Vincent released his highly anticipated studio project, In My Head, through iTunes and cdbaby on July 10th, 2012. Tony Vincent continues to write and produce for future projects, both as a solo artist, as a producer for other artists and under the band moniker Mercer.
