The Minnesota Winds Trio traveled to band rooms across the metro as part of the YourClassical MPR Class Notes program.
This past school year, they shared music and stories with over 600 students from kindergarten through 12th grade! Please email us if you're interested in having Minnesota Winds visit your band room in the future.

OUR MISSION
Connect
Now is the time to shine a spotlight on band. We are dedicated to connecting and inspiring the band community across the state to celebrate the joy and impact of band.
OUR MISSION
Engage
Band is essential. It is the entry point to music for tens of thousands of students across Minnesota.
We believe band students and their teachers deserve the opportunity to engage with and be inspired by world-class musicians, composers, and conductors.
OUR MISSION
Innovate
Professional concert bands are rare. Let’s lead the way in Minnesota and create a bright future filled with opportunities for diverse musicians, composers, and audiences to engage with music that has not yet been included on the main stage.
Minnesota Winds is blazing a trail that will enrich our musical community and support an important component of the middle and high school environment: concert band.
