Over the years, we've become good friends,” Hightower said. I even knew her when she was a high school director back at Memorial High when I was a college student. I have admired her work, especially her work at University of Houston. “First, I should say, I’ve known Betsy since the 1980s. With her departure from the Houston Symphony comes a new reign, and Hightower is the perfect fit for the role. A lofty job, indeed, and one that deservedly has earned her full-time attention. She simply stepped down from the position at the end of the 2021-22 Season to focus on the internationally-acclaimed choral program at the University of Houston’s Moores School of Music. To be clear, Betsy Cook Weber (bless her) hasn’t passed away. In the case of the Houston Symphony, that means making room for the new director of the Houston Symphony Chorus, Allen Hightower. Just like watching the Queen pass (bless her), we all have a special place in our hearts for watching one figurehead pass the baton to the next.
