Houston-based WindSync appears to be in the business of blowing away boundaries for wind ensembles, and classical music in general. The group plays from memory and incorporates theatrical elements in their performances, such as costuming and choreography.

In addition to the CAG honors, WindSync is the 2012 Sylvia Ann Hewlett “Adventurous Artist Prize” winner.

These successes have provided opportunities to perform in prestigious venues such as the Chautauqua Institution and Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. Arts education and outreach plays a prominent role in WindSync’s approach. The group is a regular contributor in their hometown where they are praised for their “extraordinary ability to connect with students…”

They have also participated in high profile outreach events with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and at Stanford University; as well as master classes at Drexel University and Idyllwild Arts Academy.

The ensemble has enjoyed two summer residencies at the Grand Teton Music Festival.
