A Specialized Community Concert Band in Austin, Texas

New Horizons Band of Austin is a welcoming, no-audition adult community concert band based in Austin, Texas. Our focus is on musicians who are at least 50 years of age, although we warmly welcome adults of all ages who wish to nurture their talent and share it with others. Our ensemble is comprised of adults who have played for decades, as well as those who have recently returned to their instruments or even want to learn how to play a different one.

We rehearse weekly and perform free public concerts throughout the year.

Follow us on Facebook for timely updates on upcoming concerts, including “save the date” announcements, concert reminders, and more.

A Welcoming Adult Band

No audition is required to join, and all concerts are free to the public.

Our focus is on:

  • Lifelong music-making

  • Friendship and connection

  • Musical growth at every stage of life

  • Performing free concerts for the Austin community

Studies show that the therapeutic benefits of music – physical, psychological, and social – are undeniable. This is particularly true as we age, whether actively participating in music-making or enjoying it passively.

Whether you are interested in joining our organization or attending our concerts, the New Horizons Band of Austin has a chair waiting for you.
