Annie Moses Band
The Annie Moses Band is a classical-crossover ensemble of six Juilliard-trained siblings is known for their virtuosic string playing, dynamic vocals and stylistically eclectic arrangements. They will come to the Bayou Theater on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2018 presenting a combination of classical, Americana, progressive folk and jazz to make your family’s holiday season brighter. 

 With almost twice as many outstanding performances to offer Clear Lake theater-lovers this season than last, the Bayou Theater at University of Houston-Clear Lake is gearing up for a brand new season that covers almost all musical genres. “There are some great benefits we’re offering season pass buyers this year,” said Bayou Theater Managing Director Alex Malone. “Season packages go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 15.”

The 2018-19 season features 18 shows with nationally and internationally known artists. “Trey McLaughlin and the Sounds of Zamar will present a special performance of gospel music, and vocalist Graeme James, who’s on his first U.S. tour all the way from New Zealand, is making a stop here on our stage,” Malone said. “People will recognize Mandy Harvey from ‘America’s Got Talent’ and Alex Preston, a finalist on ‘American Idol.’ We are really becoming Clear Lake’s premier performing arts center.”

Purchasing a Premier Package is the best way for season ticket buyers to enjoy the entire season most affordably. “You’ll get all 18 shows at the best price,” Malone said. “And the greatest benefit to buying on June 15 is that you’ll get the best seats on your preferred night for Roald Dahl’s ‘Willy Wonka,’ which is a full-scale musical that we’re producing collaboratively with Bay Area Houston Ballet & Theatre.”

Malone said season packages are going on sale now so that theatergoers can plan their schedules around the performances. “Another great benefit to buying a season package is that you can swap the value of a ticket for another show if you need to,” he said. “You’ll get the best seats for Trey McLaughlin and Sounds of Zamar as well as for Rockapella, a groundbreaking a cappella group. A season package is the best way to go.”

Longtime Clear Lake fan favorite Mercury will return for a four-concert series, including a very special February presentation of “An Evening of Mozart Symphonies,” including “Jupiter” as well as classics from Vivaldi, Paganini and Tchaikovsky.

“An expanded season like this would not be possible without a wonderful sponsor like Opus Ocean Grille,” Malone said. “Their generosity enables the arts in Clear Lake to continue to thrive.”

The Bayou Theater is highlighting the holidays with two of the most exciting performances of the season. “Celebrate the holidays with family here at the theater,” Malone said. “We have Annie Moses Band, a Juilliard-trained group of six siblings playing the highest caliber of holiday bluegrass selections. And we’ve got Riders in the Sky, who have been together for 40 years of playing music together. They’re the Grammy Award winning group whose music you’ve heard watching ‘Toy Story 2’ or ‘Monsters, Inc.’ and they’re celebrating a special cowboy comedy holiday event on our stage.”

Single tickets go on sale Aug. 1.
