FAQ

What is the ONLINE Offstage Chamber Music Festival?
Our Onstage Offstage Chamber Music Festival moves online April 21-25. In place of in-person performances, we’re offering live interactive sessions with WindSync musicians, music video premieres, and virtual concerts, featuring collaborations with incredible musicians like Andrew Staupe, Ivan Trevino, River Oaks Chamber Orchestra, Invoke, and more.

While we wish we could present this festival in person, we are glad that technology offers us a new interactive medium to gather audiences and performers during an era of social distancing. What’s more, we are excited to introduce faraway family, friends, and fans to WindSync’s collaborators in our artistic home of Texas.

What is the Onstage Offstage Chamber Music Festival?
The Onstage Offstage Chamber Music Festival is WindSync’s way of connecting the neighborhoods and citizens of Houston through chamber music. Each year we feature performers of all stripes, from students to community musicians to the finest working professionals, and we present concerts in halls, businesses, and unlikely public spaces. The goal is to get everybody interacting in new ways and using chamber music as a vehicle toward a more creative and livable city.

Is the festival appropriate for all ages?
Yes!
