Maryland Winds kicks off our 2025-2026 season with music from legendary composers - both new and old. From America’s March King, John Philip Sousa, to the Dean of American composers, Aaron Copland, this program runs the gamut of the compositional word. The lynchpin selection of the program is Vittorio Giannini’s exciting Symphony #3. Other legendary composers include Elgar and Respighi, and stars of today: Stamp, Giroux, and the talented US Navy Musician Brian Sadler.
Maryland Winds is an ensemble of professional musicians in the greater Baltimore–Washington, DC, area who are current or past with major symphony orchestras, premier military bands, music educators, or active freelance musicians.
Maryland Winds exists to bring world-class wind band music to the residents of Maryland, engage and assist music teachers and their students, and to provide an opportunity for professional musicians to dive deeply into great repertoire.
