While many of our members are busy playing in holiday performances with other ensembles throughout the region, we wanted to post a quick note to tell you that WE MISS YOU! We may be on a short break, but you can still follow us and stay informed about our upcoming concerts! 😊 https://wellingtonwindsymphony.ca/

While our concert was sadly unable to go forward last week, we were able to bring the fabulous composer Viet Cuong to our community, and connect him to students in our local schools! A large part of our organization's mission is to have a positive impact on the growth and development of young musicians in our Region, and our Composer in Residence program is one way that we are achieving this goal. On this Giving Tuesday, consider a donation to our organization using the link below, to help us continue to bring music to our community – through our concerts but also through the community connections that we are building with the local wind band community and internationally! Thank you for your consideration, have a lovely Tuesday! https://wellingtonwindsymphony.ca/donate/

WWS Members, we will be getting the percussion gear out of Knox tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 9:00 am, and extra help would be needed and appreciated! This is also an opportunity for members to pick up any personal items left behind after our dress rehearsal. Thanks for your help with this!

Sadly we are not able to present our concert this evening. We will be rescheduling!! Stay tuned for details and stay warm and safe tonight! ❄️

Viet Cuong arrived late Tuesday night and is already having an incredible impact with many groups of students! Yesterday, Viet spent time working with students at Huron Heights Secondary School and Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute (pictured here). During his stay, Viet will continue to inspire students in private and large group formats in Toronto, Stratford, Woodstock, and of course, Waterloo. The members of the Wellington Wind Symphony are also looking forward to working with Viet and performing three of his pieces at tonight’s dress rehearsal in preparation for tomorrow’s concert at Knox Presbyterian Church in Waterloo! You too can be inspired by attending a special pre-concert Q&A session with Viet at Knox at 6:30 pm! All you need for entry is your concert ticket – available online and at the door! The Wellington Wind Symphony is passionate about community outreach. Come see why tomorrow night! 📆 November 28th ⏰ Q&A Chat at 6:30 pm, Sanctuary Doors open at 7:00 pm, Concert starts at 7:30 pm 📍 Knox Presbyterian Church (50 Erb St, W, Waterloo) 📣 FREE parking at the church and at the library across the street 🎟 Tickets available at: https://wellingtonwindsymphony.ca/evergreen/
