ABOUT US

West Texas Symphony is proud to enrich lives through professional music performances and music education programs. 

Unique, compared to similar orchestras throughout the United States, the West Texas Symphony includes a symphony orchestra, adult chorale, youth choir, and three resident instrumental ensembles.

Under the baton of Music Director & Conductor Gary Lewis, the symphony orchestra currently has over 70 professional musicians. Ranked by the League of American Orchestras as a metropolitan orchestra, WTS proudly holds the distinction of being one of the largest professional performing arts organizations in West Texas.

The instrumental ensembles - Lone Star Brass, Permian Basin String Quartet, and West Texas Winds - perform with the symphony as principal musicians and in two annual recitals, in-school music education concerts, lunch time concerts and many other WTS and community events.

The Chorale and Voices of the Permian Basin Youth Choir rehearse weekly and enjoy a variety of performances throughout the season.
