Edmonton Winds

Sunday • 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm | Main Stage (93 St & 118 Ave)

Since our inception 50 years ago, our mission has always been “Performing the best in wind band literature.” The Edmonton Winds are dedicated to promoting wind band as a serious art medium through the performance of challenging, high-quality repertoire. We maintain a high standard of excellence in performing, a positive experience for our musicians, and aim to support the aspirations of young music students. We are one of Edmonton’s most important community resources in the field of music education and a strong Canadian ambassador abroad. The Winds is one of the few ensembles to be invited to perform twice at the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (WASBE); first in 2015 and then 2022. In 2026 we released our third studio album “Close To Home” in partnership with Bent River Records, featuring original commissioned music and music from local composers. Our membership is made up of accomplished musicians from all walks of life, including teachers, professional composers, freelance musicians, university professors, advanced university students, and business professionals. We have been featured throughout Alberta at music conventions, festivals, and conferences and were awarded a City of Edmonton Citation Award in 2017 for involvement in the Edmonton music community.
