UPDATE: MATCHING FUNDS! As added incentive to contribute on NTXGD, we have already received a commitment of up to $250 in matching funds (and there may be more where that came from), so your donation will go even farther! Spectrum Chamber Music Society is excited to participate in our very first North Texas Giving Day this Thursday September 23! Here are some reasons to give to Spectrum on NTXGD: —Since 1986, Spectrum has entertained North Texas audiences with a concert series that features an eclectic mix of 18th-21st Century chamber music performed by musicians of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and friends. Wanna see everything we’ve played over the last 35 years?…

On May 27, 2021, Spectrum Chamber Music Society presented our first major fundraising event, “ONE GRAND NIGHT”, featuring Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra Music Director Laureate Miguel Harth-Bedoya conducting an exceptional wind ensemble in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s epic Gran Partita. Despite the lingering remnants of the COVID pandemic still around us, we took  a chance on the miracles of medical science (i.e., vaccinations) and presented this fundraiser as our first in-person event since the pandemic shut everything down in Spring 2020. While the turnout was understandably less than what we would have expected before the pandemic, we were bowled over by the enthusiasm of those who did attend. There was electricity in the…

Just in time for us to start promoting our spring fundraising event, “One Grand Night”, we recently got the news from the IRS that we have been approved as a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization! This status means you can write off your donations to Spectrum! And that’s just the beginning…. We plan to use our status to apply for grant funds which we will use both to continue producing the kinds of concerts you have come to expect from Spectrum and to present new and exciting programs in the coming years. This announcement as well as the formation of a Board of Directors is part of an exciting period of…

We are very pleased to announce a new chapter in the evolution of the Spectrum Chamber Music Society. We recently formed our very first Board of Directors (learn more about the members of the board here), we have incorporated with the State of Texas, and we have submitted our application to become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization! This move will allow us to apply for grants and other financial support, but it also means that as of now, all donations are tax-deductible. [Note: Although we are not officially a 501(c)(3) yet, once we are accepted, the tax-deductible provision will be backdated to our incorporation in early November.] Don’t worry, once we…

Spectrum Chamber Music Society is truly excited about our fall concerts. We weren’t going to let COVID-19 get the best of us, so we have gone “livestream-only” for the time being. I’ve heard from many of you who saw our first livestream-only event in June, and the general consensus is that it turned out great! A lot of the credit for our success goes to the dedication and professionalism of the people at First United Methodist Church of Fort Worth. That’s why we are thrilled to come back to FUMCFW for our October 5 livestream-only event, featuring shorter—but every bit as powerful—string quartets and the Clarinet Quintet by Carl Maria…
