After a fantastic season last year with our premier performance at the prestigious Midwest Clinic in Chicago, we are excited to begin making music for a 32nd season.  This year, we’re taking on some transcriptions of major orchestral works for band.  We are also highlighting the extraordinary talent within our ranks by featuring them on solo works. Join us for some unforgetable concerts!

Visit our Performances page for dates and detailed descriptions of all our performances.

Interested in playing with the Minnesota Symphonic Winds? Audition for the upcoming season!

MSW Auditions for 2009-2010
Wednesday, September 9
7:30 to 9:30 PM
Edina High School

To sign up for an audition time slot, or if you have further questions, e-mail Chris Gumz at chrisgumz@edina.k12.mn.us.

Auditions will take place for full-time openings and subs. We cannot guarantee that each section within the band will have an opening this year, but all sections are needing subs throughout the year.

The Minnesota Symphonic Winds will be performing on Saturday, May 9 as part of A Concert for Caring hosted by the Burnsville Rotary and Friends of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center.  Proceeds for the event will support local nonprofit organizations such as Community Action Council, Meals on Wheels, and Habitat for Humanity.  The concert will also help present the inaugural season of the impressive Burnsville Performing Arts Center.

Visit the Concert for Caring website for more information on ticket prices for the 7:30PM concert.

We extend heartfelt thank you to all who made our December 19 performance at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago a success–Midwest staff and liaisons, guest conductors and artists, donors, sponsors, family and friends.  We truly couldn’t have done it without your support, and for the experience of a lifetime we are deeply thankful.

For those who couldn’t be with us in Chicago, you can watch selections from our performance on YouTube!
