Over nearly two decades of performing throughout the United States and abroad, WindSync has proven itself “a major force in the American chamber music landscape” (Arts and Culture Texas), puncturing performing conventions and stretching the boundaries of what the wind quintet can be through fearless programming and a fresh stage presence. 

Building a new repertoire driven by purpose and growing from close collaboration, WindSync has commissioned new works from leading and rising American composers with many becoming emerging standards of the wind quintet literature.

WindSync has appeared on some of the country’s most prestigious stages, including Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Library of Congress, at Chamber Music Northwest and the Ravinia, Moab, Orcas Island and Phoenix Chamber Music Festivals, and internationally in China, Taiwan, Panama, Mexico and Canada.
 
In the spirit of the dressed-down, boyband accessibility that inspired the quintet’s cheeky name, WindSync boasts a unique concert experience featuring largely self-generated repertoire—commissioned by the group or arranged in-house—performed frequently from memory and presented always with a personal touch from the stage. Building a new repertoire driven by purpose and growing from close collaboration, WindSync has commissioned new works from leading and rising American composers with many of which have become emerging standards of the wind quintet literature.

Founded at Rice University in 2009, WindSync embarked on a robust touring career after winning the Concert Artists Guild’s 2012 Victor Elmaleh Competition and the 2016 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, continuing as prize winners at the 2018 M-Prize Chamber Arts Competition.
