Hailed as “musical in every good way and clearly defined in performance,” Maryland Chamber Winds (MCW) is one of the country’s leading professional chamber wind ensembles. Bringing together forward-thinking young musicians from across the US and Canada, they offer intimate but invigorating performances and educational opportunities. MCW hosts the annual Maryland Wind Festival with performances throughout Frederick and Hagerstown. Partnerships with the Washington County Public Schools and the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts allow them to offer masterclasses and chamber music workshops to area students. Premiering over 20 new compositions, transcriptions, or arrangements for chamber winds, MCW is deeply committed to the expansion their repertoire through annual Composers-in-Residence and the 2020 Digital Premiers Project. In 2020, MCW released their debut album titled ‘Preludes and Recitations’ on the Tonsehen Label and will be releasing their second album, KAIROS, in 2022.
