No but it does concern a Shost symphony.

[Nick Armstrong]

Dean Martin sang a song called 'Houston'
John Barbirolli was Chief Conductor of the Houston Symphony in the '60s
The US première of Shostakovich's 11th was by the Houston Symphony under Stokowski...

So: Houston?

EDIT: if that's right, I'm in trouble as I'm out in 15 mns till the end of the evening... So: free-for-all to anyone who has an "I" in that event...
