The George Mason University Wind Symphony is a select ensemble of the most outstanding wind, brass, and percussion players in the School of Music and the university. The mission of this ensemble is to perform the best literature available for wind band, while emphasizing soloistic and orchestral performance practice. The Wind Symphony ranks among the finest collegiate wind bands in the commonwealth and performs the best in new band literature, including student and faculty compositions, and more traditional repertoire. Under the direction of composer-conductor Mark Camphouse, the Wind Symphony was honored this year as the featured college/university band at the 2007 Virginia Music Educators Association conference in Norfolk. Former Wind Symphony members have gone on to enjoy highly successful teaching and performance careers.
