In our most recent episode of Encore Houston, MUSIQA celebrates its birthday! Originally established in 2001, the organization began its 10th anniversary season with a concert inspired by song. “Sing Me A Song,” featured familiar tunes ranging from American folk music all the way to the lyrical stylings of Bob Dylan and a unique musical interpretation by composer John Corigliano. The concert also featured a reading from author Justin Cronin, from his book Mary and O’Neil.
