Operas
The Moores Opera Center stages four full operas a year in the spectacular Moores Opera House. Our productions consistently win awards with the National Opera Association, and our graduates have gone on to perform at exceptional institutions such as the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, New York City Opera, the Vienna State Opera, Teatro San Carlo, San Francisco Opera, the Bavarian State Opera, and the Houston Grand Opera.
Annual Performing Series
The Moores School invites a variety of guest artists on campus to collaborate with our faculty, perform for our patrons, and engage our students through a combination of recitals and master classes.
Student Recitals
Student recitals are a significant part of the academic curriculum as well as a treasured aspect of the Moores School experience. Each program has their own guidelines on recitals, but the overall student recital calendar is published publically. The entire community is welcome to come listen to our budding stars.
Ensembles
From choirs to orchestras, from chamber music quartets to jazz bands, our school supports a wide variety of award-winning ensembles. Throughout the year, audiences have a chance to witness the development of our young musical phenoms as they explore the joys of performing with their fellow students.

Community Arts Academy
The Community Arts Academy provides a comprehensive approach to musical instruction for students ages 6 and older, with access to Moores School of Music resources and a holistic approach for the study of piano, voice, and violin. Our classes are centered around peer-learning, theory, and prioritizing individual goals. Students have access to multiple collegiate-level performance opportunities that are exclusive to the ��«Ӱҵ. CAA is a non-credit, non-degree granting program.
Camps and Festivals
Each year, the Moores School provides a steady calendar of camps and festivals. They provide young musicians the opportunity to take master classes, compete for awards, exhibit their skill, and receive feedback from established guest artists, in an supportive, musically-rich environment.
Professional Development
In addition to degree-granting academic programs, we also welcome postbaccalaureate students who want to gain a Texas teaching or Kodály method certification.

Moores Opera House
The 800 seat Moores Opera House, the crown jewel of our facilities, is arguably the finest university opera production facility in the country. It features a Frank Stella art installation, one of the largest stages in Houston, an enormous orchestra pit, and sublime acoustics. It allows performances of the largest operas while still maintaining a sense of intimacy. Most importantly, it gives young voices a chance to develop properly by not subjecting them to the demands of an acoustically unforgiving large hall.
