About Our Ensemble


The Chicago Wind Collective (CWC) is a professional wind ensemble founded in 2026. We are a 501(c)(3) organization with the mission of sharing top-tier, accessible, musical experiences with Chicago, and providing talented, young musicians with professional performance opportunities. CWC also delivers educational and artistic collaborations for the Chicago community. This mutually beneficial model helps us to fully immerse into the Chicago music community, and sustains our mission of providing music for all.
