Since its founding in 1997, the Indiana Wind Symphony has brought joy and inspiration to audiences, leaving concertgoers feeling more uplifted than when they arrived. Our mission is to present significant music for band and wind ensemble to the Central Indiana community. Each performance bridges the timeless charm of the classical community band with the creativity and innovation of the contemporary wind ensemble. The Indiana Wind Symphony (IWS) is composed of 80 dedicated volunteer musicians, including professional performers, music educators, and accomplished amateurs, who share a passion for creating exceptional music. As a resident company of the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts. the IWS regularly performs at the Payne & Mencias Palladium concert hall.
