Minnesota Symphonic Winds believes that by collaborating with other ensembles and musicians, great things can happen. Each season we invite others from across our musical community to share the stage with us.

The Minnesota Symphonic Winds were a joy to make music with! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the membership, who were incredibly welcoming, as well as joining them for their weekly rehearsals. Take advantage of any opportunities to play with, listen to, or interact with MSW! You’ll be glad you did!

Concert Band Director, Augsburg University, Music Educator, Composer
“Making music with MSW was both exhilarating and invigorating. They hold a remarkable balance between serious music making, warm collegiality, and just plain fun. I wait impatiently for another chance to stand on the podium in front of these friends.”

Director of Bands, Roseville Area High School
