Houston Ballet, Houston Grand Opera and the Houston Symphony are each $500,000 richer thanks to gifts from long-time supporter Kitty King Powell.
The gift to Houston Ballet will help support its Center for Dance, while the Symphony gets a boost for its Sustainability Fund and Houston Grand Opera can use its windfall however it chooses.
Powell’s daughters, Marian P. Harrison and Nancy Powell Moore, announced the gifts in a meeting with the leadership of the three arts organizations on August 27.
