Musiqa's 25th anniversary season — UNBOUND — opens Friday, September 4 at Miller Outdoor Theatre, and we'd love for you to be there.

The evening is a double feature with WindSync, Houston's acclaimed wind quintet. Musiqa's set intertwines live chamber music with short films from our "Parade" series — a collaboration with Houston Cinema Arts Society placing performances in iconic Houston places.

The full UNBOUND season spans music and dance, opera, film, visual art, and a sound installation on Gulf Coast land loss — 25 years of bringing together artists, ideas, and disciplines.

Have a look at the video reel below, put together by Caio Diniz, showcasing standout moments from 25 years of performances. Then head to our newly redesigned website to explore the full season and get tickets.
