Barbara was one of the principal visionaries who birthed the endowed fund for the Temple Symphony Orchestra. The goal of Barbara’s Memorial Campaign is to build on these successes and establish a new endowed fund exclusively intended to support the coordinated efforts of the Temple Symphony Orchestra and the Central Texas Orchestral Society in bringing a Van Cliburn Finalist to our community in perpetuity. Because of the way Barbara has touched so many we are optimistic that the financial goals necessary to achieve this are attainable. Adding to this optimism is the family’s pledge to match all donations up to $100,000.00.

We hope that you will consider memorializing Barbara with a donation to this fund that guarantees that the beautiful sounds created by the world’s best emerging musical talents continue to be heard in Bell County. Donations may be made through the website of the Temple Symphony Orchestra or the Cultural Activities Center:  www.templesymphony.org/donate/
