- Gonzalo Ramos, Bravura Concert Series Artistic Director
All Saints Catholic Church has a history of providing free admission concerts to the Houston community for over a decade. The concept began with the creation of a Neighborhood Choral Concert Series which later evolved into the All Saints Cultural Arts Series and has now established a firm foundation as the Bravura Concert Series. Bravura provides an opportunity for families and friends to enjoy an evening of culture, along with a moment to experience comfort, excitement, and laughter in an afternoon of music. A desserts reception is held after concerts and provides an opportunity for guest to meet the performers. This is made possible by the generosity of good-will offerings and through the support of the community. All donations and sponsorships are an essential medium that secures the future and successful foundation of Bravura.
The Bravura Concert Series will continue to strive to fulfill its community-driven mission and will continue to provide quality programming at no cost. A very special thank you is always granted to our sponsors for making our mission successful."Experience Life through the Arts at All Saints"
