The Wind Symphony, ISU’s premier wind band, is known nationally and internationally as one of the leading collegiate wind ensembles in North America. Conducted by Martin H. Seggelke, this select group of the finest instrumentalists at Illinois State University has been praised for its professional performance quality by audiences, composers and critics. In addition to at least eight performances of standard and newly composed works from the wind band literature on the ISU campus each year, the Wind Symphony records annually and tours regularly. The Wind Symphony has been a featured performing ensemble at the American Bandmasters Association Convention, the Illinois Music Educators Association Conference, the College Band Directors National Association Convention, and the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic. The Wind Symphony is proud to have enjoyed close relationships with the finest composers writing for wind bands, including David Maslanka, Karel Husa, Michael Colgrass, and many others.
