Hear the music of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with award-winning Strings, Piano and Vocals by Dave MaddenAbout this Event
Step into a world where music and shadows dance together for an experience that has sold out over 50 times in Texas.
On November 12, Will Taylor and Strings Attached will fill St. Stephen's Church in Fort Worth with the music of Pink Floyd, played live and in the dark.
Breathe it in. Then remember that this night is about more than a concert.
Proceeds from the ticket sales goes to help two homeless men get back on their feet and to support Room in the Inn, where homeless women get a quiet night away from the crowded shelters, a hot meal, and volunteers who treat them like people.
Us and them is the wrong way to think about it. We are all in this city together, and this is a chance to act like it.
Wish you were here on November 12. Come to St. Stephen's Church in Fort Worth and let Will Taylor and Strings Attached shine on with a night of Pink Floyd you will not forget.
VIP tickets get you the first two rows and a 5 p.m. party with drinks and bites. Reserved tickets put you in rows three and four, and general admission opens up row five and beyond.
Every ticket helps two men find their way back to their lives and helps Room in the Inn give homeless women a night of rest and care.
Bring a friend.
High hopes are easier to carry when there are a lot of us holding them.
Pink Floyd and Beyond is coming to St. Stephen's Church in Fort Worth on November 12.
Award-Winning Austin violinist Will Taylor and Strings Attached will bring the music of Pink Floyd to life in a candlelit room, and every dollar raised goes to help homeless neighbors here in Fort Worth.
Come for a great night of music. Leave knowing you helped someone get back on their feet
Original music by show creator Will Taylor, inspired by the timeless sounds of Dark Side of the Moon, will be woven throughout the performance, adding a unique layer to this journey.
This is no ordinary show.
It begins and ends in darkness, with live music and a poem or two wrapping around you like a cozy blanket, soothing your soul.
Come as you are, and leave transformed.

Testimonials
"The music and setting was "other worldly"
I live in Austin & Love Will Taylor and his music. Even in a town like Austin where musicians are on every corner, Will Stands out With his unique collaborations and concerts, He truly is "One of a Kind." Thank you Will. Please keep your awesome and unique music coming!!!! YOU would be sorely missed were you to leave!!! -Pam B, Ph.D
Thanks for the unbelievable musical service. Will, you take us kicking and connecting with new people who love music and natural life! Then Tony captured the beauty of classical guitar, which for me was delightful, secret toe wiggling while lying on my mat, housed in dark AC while visually surrounded by elms and willows. The hands on energy touch upon request, was an amazing bonus. Can't get any better. Dr. Patty and Bob
Will, last night's show was magnificent. Now I remember why I felt at home when I came to Austin in 1980. There is something precious here, (Holy, actually) and you are a part of that. Thank you. Shara T.

About the Music...
Released in 1973, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is more than an album—it’s a cultural landmark. Known for its exploration of life’s big themes—time, money, mental health, and the human condition—the album’s lush soundscapes and haunting melodies have captivated listeners for decades. Its seamless blend of rock, jazz, and experimental music creates a sonic journey that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
This makes it the perfect centerpiece for a Concert in the Dark. The album’s ethereal textures and emotional depth come alive in an intimate, candlelit setting, where the absence of light heightens every note. Paired with original compositions inspired by the album, this performance invites you to experience Dark Side of the Moon in a whole new way—immersive, introspective, and utterly transformative.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Concerts in the Dark all about?
Concerts in the Dark offers a unique and transformative way to experience acoustic music by reducing or completely eliminating light, giving the listener the opportunity to immerse themselves entirely in the experience.
This innovative series celebrates the purity and intimacy of acoustic music, creating an environment where every note, rhythm, and resonance takes center stage. By tuning out visual distractions, audiences are invited to engage their senses more deeply, fostering a profound connection with the music and its emotional core.
Most of our concerts include a short meditation at the beginning. At some events, guests bring blankets and/or pillows, and sit or lie on the floor to experience the music in a relaxing posture, while the musicians walk around the room.
👤 Are children welcome?
Kids are welcome! For this show, everyone needs a ticket but, anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Please keep in mind that this is an event where the focus is on the music, and might include meditation. So we value peace and an environment of non-disruption for all that are paying to have this experience. This isn't a club atmosphere where there is talking over the music. That being so, we do have a separate area where you can take the kids if they or you need a break.

More audience testimonials for Will Taylor
"Wow, we are so grateful to you for such an incredible evening. George and I were so high from the creative energy and the almost other-worldly sense of collaboration. What a divine life you have to be able to participate in such moments of group creativity. It made me jealous that my work world is so isolated. Ah well, it was just heavenly to be part of the experience. We can't wait for the next Strings Attached concert."
Sarah Bird, award winning author
"Once again, very magical and heart felt music, we can feel it when it comes from your hearts, because like tuning, it strikes our chords as well and moves us." - Dan
"The ensemble is fantastic. Each player is very gifted and adds to the whole. No one dominates or over plays. You are the best group I've heard in Austin in a long while." - Becky M.
