The highly anticipated, globally touted POST Houston complex opens next Saturday in the converted Barbara Jordan Post Office building, which sat abandoned in a northern pocket of Downtown for years. On Dec. 3, Grammy winner and Houston native Megan Thee Stallion will perform a grand-opening show marking the debut of 713 Music Hall, the city's newest music venue, located inside POST.


"It's always special to come back home and perform in front of my OG hotties," said Megan in a statement. "I can't wait to take the stage and celebrate the grand opening of 713 Music Hall — it's going to be unforgettable!"

It's an anchor of the radical adaptive reuse project, with a capacity of 5,000 across multiple levels. The music hall doubles as an event and meeting venue, and is expected to host 100 events annually.

Other features of the development include a food hall with concepts from James Beard-winning chefs, a massive rooftop garden dubbed the Skylawn, a coworking atrium, retail shops and more.

Tickets for Megan Thee Stallion's concert go on sale this Monday at 10am at 713musichall.com.

FOR FANS OF early music — an often scholarly lot who aren’t afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves — bad-boy Baroque-era painter Caravaggio certainly nailed something in his dramatic 1595 painting, “The Musicians.” (Simon Schama talks about this in his TV series The Power of Art.) One look at his masterpiece, and you feel as if you’ve stumbled upon and surprised a roomful of dewy-eyed musicians, their youthful faces swollen with melancholy, with the lutist looking like he’s about ready to burst into tears before he’s even tuned his instrument. So no, you certainly don’t need a Ph.D. to enjoy and be moved by the music of Handel, G.P. Telemann, or J.S. Bach, but a little bit of scholarship never hurt anyone. Knowing the history of this music may even deepen your appreciation of it.
