Concerts for Seniors
Texas Winds believes that music brings inspiration, peace and relief from serious cares to confined seniors. Using music, humor and education, performers nurture a caring environment, awaken fond memories and alleviate loneliness.
While our musicians provide first-rate entertainment, their greater aim is to strengthen morale and improve quality of life for their audiences by sharing love, affirming seniors’ dignity and allowing them to feel special, not forgotten.
Concerts are given in Dallas and Tarrant County nursing homes, assisted living facilities, senior centers, adult daycare, facilities for the disabled, low-income senior housing and retirement homes.
