The Lone Star Wind Orchestra was co-founded in 2006 by Robert Clark, Barry Knezek, and Chris Tucker as a creative collaboration to further the wind orchestra as an artistic medium. The group's mission is to enrich the cultural life of the North Texas community, providing its members and audience with opportunities for musical growth through creative direction, excellence in performance and educational outreach.

The Lone Star Wind Orchestra performs classical transcriptions, chamber music and contemporary wind band literature in some of the finest performance halls available, primarily the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and the group’s "home," the Charles W. Eisemann Center.

The Lone Star Wind Orchestra is proud to nurture musical growth through its guest artists and conductors, as well as supporting the expansion of the wind band repertoire through commissioning new works.
