Saturday, October 4, 2024 | 7 PM  | ​ Zilkha Hall, Hobby Center for the Performing Arts 
DECLARE is a multidisciplinary concert by Apollo and Houston-based poets, composers, artists, and students, blending spoken word, newly commissioned music, and visual art to explore America’s founding. It highlights civic identity, historical truths, and underrepresented narratives, reflecting both the aspirations and complexities of the nation’s past and present — and its promise for the future.

Saturday, May 23, 2026 | 7 PM |  ​ Zilkha Hall, Hobby Center for the Performing Arts 
American democracy has long fueled scientific progress by nurturing innovation, collaboration, and the free exchange of ideas. Apollo Chamber Players reimagine the Apollo 13 mission, honoring American innovation and Houston’s role through untold stories like that of Cuban refugee Miguel Hernandez, who was in Mission Control when the crew declared, “Houston, we have a problem.”
