Celebrate with us during our 20th Anniversary Season by reflecting on the impact the Lone Star Wind Orchestra has made in enriching lives through the arts and fostering community. Help us honor the vision, resilience, and creativity that have carried our mission forward while looking ahead with renewed purpose. Thank you for being a part of this 20-year journey of Music Changing Lives!
The Lone Star Wind Orchestra (LSWO) was founded 20 years ago by Robert Clark, Barry Knezek, and Christopher Tucker. The driving force behind forming this performing ensemble was the collective agreement between the founders to build an orchestra from a player’s perspective and be a vital participant in the North Texas arts community. The founders agreed that the organization needed to focus on these core values: making the best possible music, giving back to the community, and reaching out to the disadvantaged and underserved.
The LSWO performs classical transcriptions, chamber music, and contemporary wind band literature in some of the finest performance halls available. The Lone Star Wind Orchestra is proud to nurture musical growth through its guest artists and conductors, and to support the expansion of the wind band repertoire through commissioning new works. These accomplishments are in addition to the numerous programs performed for free to community as well as our transformative music education programs.
The Lone Star Wind Orchestra strives to embody “Music Changing Lives” to audiences and serves as a role model for young students, encouraging the pursuit of music involvement as a life-long passion.
