The Lone Star Wind Orchestra strives to make a significant musical contribution to the cultural life of the North Texas community, providing its members and audience with opportunities for musical growth through creative direction, excellence in performance and educational outreach. Their long-term vision is to be recognized locally, nationally and internationally as a premier all-volunteer wind orchestra fostering music appreciation and the life-changing value it provides our members and listening audience.
Founded in 2006, the LSWO is comprised of approximately 60 professional Brass, Woodwind, and Percussion players in the North Texas area. They are supported by a collection of business leaders and volunteers who are all dedicated to the Orchestra's success. LSWO released its first nationally distributed CD in the Spring of 2008, and is currently commissioning new orchestral works to add to its reportoire.
The Lone Star Wind Orchestra performs classical transcriptions, chamber music and contemporary wind band literature in some of the finest performance halls available, primarily the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and the Charles W. Eisemann Center. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the LSWO is proud of its effort to reach out to artistically underserved populations throughout North Texas via its liaisons with local charitable organizations and support groups.
