Sacramento Symphonic Winds

The Sacramento Symphonic Winds is an all volunteer 60-piece symphonic wind ensemble or "wind orchestra" that performs a wide range of music from rock, jazz and show tunes to contemporary wind ensemble masterpieces . It was founded in 2001 by the current conductor and music director, Dr. Les Lehr , to provide quality musical performances for audiences in the greater Sacramento area and to offer local musicians a challenging and rewarding musical experience in an encouraging environment. We celebrate the community band and wind ensemble tradition in American music!
