Windy City Winds

Windy City Winds is a large community concert band. Our 60 talented woodwind, brass, and percussion players rehearse weekly and perform concerts for Chicago audiences. We are “Chicago’s Community Band”: • We are a not-for-profit organization of unpaid volunteers. • Our membership is diverse in age, race, ethnicity, beliefs, profession, gender, and sexual orientation. We live in Chicago neighborhoods from Morgan Park to Rogers Park. • We perform formal indoor concerts and lighter outdoor neighborhood concerts. All our concerts are accessible to everyone and admission free. • Our music touches hearts and inspires audiences. We perform original wind music, orchestral transcriptions, film music, Broadway medleys, marches, and music by contemporary composers. • We celebrate our city’s cultural heritage. We feature composers of color, female composers, and Chicago area composers and soloists. • We have performed at Make Music Chicago since 2016. • Our conductors are a married couple.
