Jones Hall Tickets Information
The Jesse H. Jones Hall for the Performing Arts is commonly known as Jones Hall. It is a performance venue in Houston, Texas, and the permanent home of the Houston Symphony Orchestra and the Houston Society for the Performing Arts. Jones Hall is also frequently rented as a venue for contemporary pop musicians and other performers and is estimated to draw over 400,000 audience members yearly.
All fine architectural values are human values, else not valuable. Frank Lloyd Wright
The building won the 1967 American Institute of Architects' Honor Award, which is bestowed on only one building annually. Designed by the Houston-based architectural firm Caudill Rowlett Scott, the hall, which takes up an entire city block, features a white Italian marble exterior with eight-story tall columns. The interior includes a basement and a sub-basement which houses a rehearsal room. The lobby is dominated by a 60-foot high ceiling featuring a massive hanging bronze sculpture by Richard Lippold entitled "Gemini II".
Although it was officially completed on October 2, 1966 at the cost of $7.4 million, it is named after Jesse H. Jones, a former United States Secretary of Commerce and Houstonian. At the time of Hall's opening, a concert was arranged and a special work was commissioned of the American composer Alan Hovhaness, the appropriately titled 'Ode to the Temple of Sound'. Construction of the hall was underwritten by Houston Endowment, Inc., a foundation was endowed by Jones and his wife. At the time of completion, the hall was donated to the city, which has now currently been operated by the City of Houston's Convention and Entertainment Facilities Department.
The inside of the concert hall itself is unique in that the ceiling is comprised of 800 hexagonal segments which can be raised or lowered to change the acoustics of the hall. The segments can actually be lowered enough to close the upper balcony, so the seating capacity therefore fluctuates from about 2,300 with the balcony covered to 2,911 with the balcony open.
Interior design is a travesty of the architectural process and a frightening condemnation of the credulity, helplessness and gullibility of the most formidable consumers - the rich. Stephen Bayley
Despite the efforts to create a customizable acoustical environment, Jones Hall is often criticized for its muddy, unfocused acoustics. The acoustics were designed by the firm Bolt, Beranek and Newman, who also designed New York's Avery Fisher Hall and San Francisco's Davies Hall, both of which have also been subject to much criticism.
However, the only renovations since the hall's construction have been unrelated. In 1993, it was renovated to bring it in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. From 2001-2003, a $24 million renovation took place to reaffix marble panels which had begun to fall from the building's exterior façade, to renovate parts of the building that had been flooded during 2001's Tropical Storm Allison, and to remove asbestos from the interior.
A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature. Guillaume Apollinaire
