Grand Symphonic Winds is a Twin Cities based civic wind ensemble with a reputation for excellence, well known for bringing original music to a diverse audience.  It strives to expand and redefine the perception of what constitutes a concert band.  GSW has made the conscious decision to challenge both its members and audience with a wide range of musical styles.  During its 25 year history, it has championed new music, including dozens of unique compositions from across the globe that have rarely or never been performed in Minnesota previously.
