WindSync has distinguished itself among classical music ensembles as one of North America’s foremost emerging wind quintets. The ensemble’s mission is to “enrich the lives of children, families, and all members of the community through innovative, interactive chamber music concerts and educational programs.”

The energetic group plays exclusively from memory, including elements of staging and choreography.
