The Houston Symphonic Band provides adult musicians in the Houston area the opportunity to play and perform some of the finest music literature available. We also seek to serve the community by bringing family oriented performing arts into the community, providing a high quality musical experience that is both accessible and of minimal cost. We pride ourselves in our support of music education and the music educators who will foster the next generation of musicians and music lovers. Our directors, along with many of our other fine musicians, often provide clinics, workshops and other hands on assistance to local and regional schools. We also are building a collection of reference recordings available on CD of important band and wind ensemble litterature including contest pieces and works suitable for skill development. The Houston Symphonic Band is a strong advocate of community music programs and believes that music should not end after high school or college, but be a life long persuit. We therefore encourage everyone to support the performing arts organizations in their communities to assure that they continue to grow and thrive.

Shimmer Flute Ensemble was founded in January 2006 to provide flute players in the Houston Symphonic Band more opportunities to perform and to socialize. We have performed at a number of local venues including the Heights Home Tour, The Coffee Retreat, The Heritage Grand Club, and Memorial City Mall. Our repertoire covers a wide variety of genres, including many Irish tunes, Renaissance music, American folk classics, children’s favorites, and classical literature. We are currently seeking to expand our membership. All flute players are welcome. We especially would love a few alto and bass flute players as we move into music arranged for full flute choir.
