The San Jose Wind Symphony is one of Northern California's premier community wind ensembles. Our membership includes current and retired music educators, former military musicians, college music majors, and accomplished amateur musicians who share a passion for performing at a high level. Our repertoire is comparable to that of leading collegiate and professional wind ensembles, with most literature falling in the Grade 4-6 range. Recent works have included Deciduous, Frozen Cathedral, Lincolnshire Posy, Give Us This Day, Sensamayá, and First Suite in E-flat. We perform traditional wind band classics, new works, transcriptions, and regularly collaborate with internationally recognized guest artists, including Jon Manasse and Pasquale Esposito. In addition to our regular concert season, SJWS periodically tours and recently completed a professional recording project at Skywalker Sound. Members are expected to prepare music independently, attend rehearsals and performances consistently, and contribute through volunteer service. We currently have openings for the '26-'27 season for flute, oboe, tenor saxophone, french horn, and percussion. All band instruments are invited to audition and join our sub list.
