Houston's colorful past, present and future set the stage for HGOco's Song of Houston — an ongoing initiative that commissions works based on stories that define the unique character of our city.

Song of Houston makes opera relevant through stories that engage hearts and minds. These stories are told through local, national and international collaborative community and educational projects. More than 300,000 people have experienced Song of Houston through music making, photography, creative writing and other programs which incorporate all of the arts.

HGOco collaborates with schools and organizations to create and administer Song of Houston-related curricular activities under the theme of Heroes, Legends and Legacies. All activities include curricular connections to multiple subject areas, and are aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards.
