Grainger Wind Symphony (Blackburn North)
The Grainger Wind Symphony is a Melbourne-based not-for-profit group made up of musicians who share a passion for creating quality wind-band music.
Established in 1986 and named after one of Australia's foremost musicians and composers, Percy Grainger, the group seeks to perform wind symphony music of the highest calibre.
Presenting approximately eight concerts a year throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria, the Grainger Wind Symphony strives to bring its audiences a greater appreciation and enjoyment of the works of Australian composers and wind symphony music generally. The Grainger Wind Symphony also has a strong commitment to music education and the development of young musicians.
The group is based at Blackburn High and performs in a variety of venues, mainly in the Melbourne CBD or in suitable venues where invited. Rehearsals are on a Wednesday night with usually 5 rehearsals for each concert.
With a strong commitment to education, the Grainger Wind Symphony stages Conductor Workshops, stage performance where school are invited to share the stage and sometimes perform a combined work with the school musicians sitting with Grainger Wind Symphony players. We aim to provide inspiration to conductors and instrumentalist to lift performance standards and share the love of playing in a wind symphony.
