Duluth Symphonic Winds

Duluth Symphonic Winds (DSW) is a large, vibrant community band dedicated to the joy of music making in the Twin Ports area and beyond. We are a multigenerational ensemble, bringing together musicians ranging from age 21 to their 90s, proving that the passion for performance has no expiration date.

Our Mission

We believe that music should be accessible to everyone, which is why we provide an inclusive, non-auditioned environment where adults can continue their musical journeys regardless of their starting point.

What We Do

We are committed to fostering musical growth and community enrichment through several core objectives:
  • Lifelong Learning: Providing age appropriate, culturally aware, and ensemble informed musical instruction.
  • Diverse Repertoire: Performing music that spans a wide range of skill levels and cultural backgrounds, ensuring every member is both challenged and inspired.
  • Arts Advocacy: Serving as a vocal advocate for the arts throughout the Twin Ports and surrounding regions.
  • Community Performance: Bringing the power of live concert band music to our local neighbors through regular public performances.
Whether you are picking up your instrument after a decades-long break or looking for a supportive place to hone your craft, DSW offers a seat at the music stand and a place in our community.
