Discover the Iconic Zilkha Hall - Hobby Center 

Nestled inside Houston’s prestigious Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, Zilkha Hall - Hobby Center offers an intimate yet elegant performance space in the heart of the city’s thriving Theater District. Opened in 2002 as part of the two-venue Hobby Center campus, Zilkha Hall - Hobby Center was designed to accommodate smaller-scale performances while delivering a premium experience in acoustics, sightlines, and ambiance. 

Named after philanthropists Michael and Susan Dell Zilkha, the venue is renowned for hosting a wide range of events including chamber music, solo vocalists, jazz ensembles, theatrical productions, dance showcases, and community programming. It serves as the main stage for UniverSoul Theatre, DaCamera of Houston, and various educational and cultural institutions. 

Unlike larger arenas, Zilkha Hall - Hobby Center’s compact layout enhances the intimacy between performer and audience. The warmth of the décor—rich woods, plush seating, and refined finishes—complements the hall’s world-class sound engineering, ensuring that every note and spoken word resonates clearly.
