The Music Stand was founded by pianist & composer Arlington Jones & his wife Hope in 2013. Having overcome personal and professional obstacles, Arlington and Hope have a heart to encourage musicians and their families to rise above the challenges of life and reach their full potential. Since the beginning of their marriage, they have mentored individuals and couples in the music industry. They are known for producing inspiring music, exciting concerts, and creative music education programs.
The Music Stand enriches and uplifts lives through innovative artistic expression, interactive education & artist support.
The Music Stand seeks to expand its budget to ensure the continuation and stability of our programs. This year in August 2024, we hosted our first arts festival in Arlington, TX (estimated budget $40,000) featuring a four-day cultural celebration of music, dance & arts. Presentations included a film screening, music & dance performances, guest artists, and a jazz opera. We are also planning to make this an annual event while increasing our live & virtual programming throughout the year. Your gift will help provide the means for our concert & performing arts series, artist support, and creative music education programs. Thank you for making a difference to support the arts!
The Music Stand was founded with the heart to reach all ages, races, cultures, and backgrounds through the arts and personal development. We believe music is a universal language that crosses cultures and generations and the arts has the power to unite and heal hearts. We are committed to providing uplifting programs, beneficial services, and opportunities to people from all walks of life. We find creative ways to bring our programs to communities. We will remain dedicated to enriching the lives of the people we serve.
