Community Outreach Ensembles
Professional Chamber Music for Every Venue
Beyond Our Regular Season
In addition to seasonally scheduled concerts at our regular venues, Spectrum has also developed ensembles to perform concerts at other venues to more broadly serve the community and increase awareness of Spectrum's contribution to cultural life in our area. These concerts are generally 45-60 minutes long and are often scheduled as a part of an existing event series.
Spectrum has presented community outreach concerts at a variety of venues, including theaters (Stage West), public libraries (Azle, North Richland Hills, Southlake, and Arlington), as well as retirement communities (Trinity Terrace, etc). We have also performed educational concerts at Gunn Jr. High School and LVT Rise.
Professional Musicians, Flexible Programming
Such concerts may involve a negotiated fee for the express purpose of compensating musicians. If you are interested in engaging one of our ensembles, please contact William Clay.
Listed below are the outreach ensembles currently available:
