MUSIC TRANSFORMS

A Comprehensive Campaign for Austin Soundwaves

Since 2011, Austin Soundwaves has been dedicated to serving students across Central Texas by providing enriching musical opportunities for learners of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.

Approaching our 15th year and growing steadily, the need for a dedicated facility to meet student demand and expand our programs has become critical.

A new facility will centralize operations, offer more comprehensive services, and create a home for our vibrant musical community.

The Austin Soundwaves Center will feature acoustically designed rehearsal rooms, individual practice studios, and a recording studio. As part of the Community Arts Collaborative (CAC), the building includes a flexible performance space, outdoor stage, and numerous inspiring classrooms.

A unique national model

The Community Arts Collaborative will be home to several organizations and creative businesses representing music, visual arts, theater, film, digital media, and more. Located next to Marshall Middle School, part of Austin ISD and the Mueller Community, the CAC will become a thriving “third place” for thousands of students of all ages.
