Embarking on its eighth season, we serve North Texas residents through innovative concert programming that redefines early music for the 21st century.

Our artist roster includes first-class musicians, many of whom are graduates of the University of North Texas, Texas Christian University, and the University of Texas Arlington.

In addition to our live concerts, Lumedia Musicworks maintains a robust digital presence through award-winning short films and documentary series. These films have garnered accolades at film festivals worldwide and are featured as in-house television programming in hospitals across North Texas. Our documentaries are freely accessible online and presented interactively at senior centers throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

We strive to engage audiences by integrating historical performance with modern storytelling techniques, utilizing a diverse artistic roster that includes directors, musicians, recording engineers, and videographers.
