About Dallas Winds
The Dallas Winds is the leading professional civilian wind band in the United States today. Comprised of 55 woodwind, brass and percussion players, the band performs an eclectic blend
of musical styles ranging from Bach to Bernstein and Sousa to Strauss. They combine the tradition of the British brass band with the musical heritage of the American town band and the
pioneering spirit of the 21st century wind ensemble. The Vision of The Dallas Winds is to be a distinguished role model, whose artistry serves as the preeminent benchmark for instrumental ensembles worldwide by creating joyous shared musical experiences for audiences and performers.
The Dallas Winds was founded by its current Executive Director, Kim Campbell, and founding music director, Howard Dunn, in 1985. Its mission is to bring extraordinary musicians and
enthusiastic audiences together to celebrate American band music through live performances, youth education programs, recordings and media content, commissions of new compositions,
and projects that nurture the professional development of instrumentalists, composers, and conductors. Since its debut, the Dallas Winds has entertained millions of
people both... at home, on tour, through recordings and increasingly through streamed media.
The Dallas Winds presents an annual concert series at one of the world’s greatest concert halls, Dallas’ Morton H. Meyerson Concert Center, where it performs five concerts during its annual season and special concerts for Christmas and the Fourth of July. The Dallas Winds has performed over 500 unique concerts, rarely repeating repertoire from season to season. The
band is a five-time Grammy Award nominee, with 22 albums in current worldwide release on the Crystal Records, Reference Recordings and Klavier/Naxos labels. In collaboration with
Pacific Microsonics, the Dallas Winds pioneered the High-Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD) recording process and recorded the world’s first HDCD album. The Dallas Winds has been
honored to perform the World Premier of many new works and regularly features internationally acclaimed soloists and small ensembles. By invitation, the Dallas Winds has performed at the Texas Music Educators Association Conference in 2020 and the Midwest Clinic in 2021. The band is featured regularly on American Public Media’s nationally syndicated radio program
Performance Today, heard by over 1.25 million listeners throughout the United States. New York classical music blogger Gene Gaudette, in a review of the Dallas Winds album Linconshire
Posy – The Music of Percy Grainger said: “The disc is proof positive that the Dallas Winds is one of America’s elite cultural institutions, up there with the Metropolitan Opera, Los Angeles
Master Chorale, and the Philadelphia Orchestra.”
In addition to live performances and recording projects, the Dallas Winds seeks to inspire the next generation of musicians and listeners through its music education programs. Its annual
Strike Up the Band concerts reach 12,500 Dallas Independent School District (“Dallas ISD”) 5th grade students annually, encouraging kids to sign-up for band in the sixth grade. The Dallas
Winds Band Camp held in collaboration with the Dallas ISD, is the largest inner-city band camp in the United States, serving over 600 band students each summer. Since 2006, the group’s
annual Invitational Windband Festival has drawn 49 school bands and 2,500 students from a seven-state area to the Dallas Arts District for a unique three-day festival at the Meyerson
Symphony Center. In 1999, the Dallas Winds established its International Fanfare Competition, encouraging emerging composers to write new works for brass and percussion. To date, over
144 fanfares have received their World Premier in the atrium of the Meyerson Symphony Center, inviting participants to arrive early and enjoy the acoustics of this unique pre-concert event.
In response to the worldwide pandemic, the Dallas Winds developed a series of livestreamed recitals featuring its musicians in small ensembles performing in safe settings. The full band of
55 musicians was reduced to an ensemble of 15 COVID-tested players, performing customized musical arrangements in socially distanced concerts that were livestreamed to homes throughout the United States and abroad.
