President’s Message
Dear Houston Symphony League Members,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 season for the League and the Houston Symphony! We are here to have fun, make friends, learn, connect, and most importantly support our
beloved Grammy-award winning Houston Symphony.
The Houston Symphony League should stand tall and proud for what we have accomplished since Ima Hogg founded the organization in 1937. Our fundraising, helping with ticket sales (which was the original purpose of the League), volunteering
(especially to help inspire children to enjoy and perhaps pursue music as an interest or career) over a nearly 90-year timespan has certainly made a difference. We plan to honor and further this legacy by continuing to build a community of support for the Houston Symphony.
The theme for the 2025-2026 season is The Impact of Music. Music can profoundly impact the individual through their personal relationship with the music and the community by fostering connections through shared musical experiences. You will see
this in our expanded education and community engagement programs and other events and activities.
We are looking for everyone to contribute to the Houston Symphony, either directly or through the League, whether it is your volunteer time, talents to help support the cause, or treasures or some combination. Your individual contribution is critically important to
achieving the League’s mission and vision to support the Houston Symphony.
I am deeply grateful and honored for the trust with which you have graced me to lead this wonderful and impactful organization. This will be an exciting year, and I look forward to taking this journey with you.
Leslie Nossaman
Houston Symphony League
2025-2026 President
