The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion

The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion presented by Huntsman is an outdoor amphitheater located in The Woodlands, TX. Surrounded by lush forests, The Pavilion provides the Greater Houston region with an array of performing arts events, educational outreach programs and contemporary entertainment. The Pavilion is also known as The Center for the Perfor... ming Arts at The Woodlands, a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization, and is governed by a volunteer board of directors. George P. Mitchell, founder of The Woodlands, along with his wife Cynthia Woods Mitchell, for whom The Pavilion is named, dreamed of creating a first-class performing arts facility for The Woodlands since the community's inception in 1990. They envisioned the facility as a venue for classical performances and educational events, as well as popular music. The dream became a reality when The Pavilion opened with a star-studded gala weekend in April 1990. The Houston Symphony performed April 27, Frank Sinatra April 28, and Alabama with Clint Black on April 29. Since then, it has earned praise from both artists and audiences alike. The Pavilion now presents between 50 and 65 events every March through December, events ranging in style from rock to classical, jazz to country, and modern opera to contemporary American ballet. The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is the Summer Home of the Houston Symphony, the Home Away from Home of the Houston Ballet, and a presenting venue for the Houston Grand Opera and Texas Music Festival Orchestra. The Pavilion's national commercial attractions are produced and promoted by Live Nation. Performing arts events, including the annual Children's Festival, are produced and promoted by The Pavilion.Read More
