In 1985 Catherine Barr and members of her woodwind quintet discovered a new audience in a Dallas nursing home. The musicians’ desire to perform matched the residents’ need for human interaction. Music made a difference in the lives of players and listeners alike, nurturing their spirits and awakening the potential for sharing love and compassion in a unique setting.
Since that time, Texas Winds has expanded its outreach to all Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton County nursing homes, as well as hospitals and Head Start Centers. Texas Winds gave 11 concerts in its first year. In the 25-26 season, we gave 1,405 concerts to 40,300 North Texans.
Our ability to serve the community is directly tied to funding. The more support we receive, the more concerts we can deliver!
Texas Winds Musical Outreach uplifts and engages North Texans with limited access to the arts by providing professional music performances in care and living spaces.
Our ability to serve the community is directly tied to funding. Every concert costs between $200-300 to put on. The more support we receive, the more concerts we can deliver!
