From the Chair



Welcome to the 2023/24 Season of the First Coast Wind Symphony!

Our 34th season promises yet another year of exceptional wind symphony performances and offers something for everyone. Kicking off the season in October are the Partner Concerts with two area universities and the Wind Symphony's performance of The Ninth Symphony by James Barnes. The always delightful December celebrations are a fun way to kick off the holiday season!  Come and meet February's guest composer/conductor Rossano Galante, orchestrator of over 75 studio films, in a concert of his music.  The season wraps up in May with the family concert/concerto competition and the very special Mother's Day celebration at the cathedral.  More information on the season schedule is available here.

Support us this November at Friday Musicale in a benefit concert to aid our concerto competition scholarship fund, featuring the First Coast Wind Symphony chamber ensembles.  More information and tickets are available here.

The Wind Symphony continues its musical ambassadorship with a trip to Vermont over the 4th of July holiday where we tour the sites of beautiful Vermont and perform in a joint concert on July 3rd with the Burlington Wind Symphony and on July 4th with a 10 piece "All Star" band at the Vermont Symphony concert in Shelburne.

Musically yours,
