Hiring The Wind Symphony
The Wind Symphony is comprised of brass, woodwind and percussion players from Southern New Jersey, Greater Philadelphia and Delaware. Our musical backgrounds are diverse and include experience in jazz, orchestral, rock, music theater, and chamber music. Most of the members hold music degrees. We are led by Dr. Robert J. Streckfuss, Professor Emeritus of Music at the University of Delaware.
The Wind Symphony performs regularly in the Delaware Valley and is for hire for both indoor and outdoor concerts. A variety of light classical and popular music is available from our extensive library.
