Welcome to the web home of The William & Mary Wind Symphony. The ensemble, conducted by William & Mary Director of Bands Dr. Paul Bhasin, brings together approximately 50 talented wind, brass and percussion players to perform wind ensemble and symphonic band music from a repertoire that spans the 16th through the 21st centuries. Membership in the Wind Symphony is open to all students (music majors & non-music majors) by audition at the beginning of the school year.

Founded in 1929, the Wind Symphony delights William & Mary students, faculty, and staff; Williamsburg residents; tourists; and others with a variety of diverse performances throughout the course of the curricular year.  Venues include Family Weekend and Homecoming in the Fall, a Winter Holiday show, two Pops Concerts in the Spring, and more. The group has also been honored to perform at the inauguration of college president Gene Nichol and the investiture of Chancellor Sandra Day O’Connor.

Additionally, the Wind Symphony takes an annual tour each Spring.  Previous stops have included Montréal, New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Toronto, and Nashville.
