The Commonwealth Wind Symphony was born out of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Being a music educator is isolating at the best of times, with most schools employing one or two music teachers. This feeling was exacerbated by the physical distancing we endured during the 2020 - 2021 school year. State safety guidelines for COVID-19 forced musicians ten feet apart, if performing groups were allowed to meet at all.
Feeling the need to reconnect and reenergize our love for making music (what got us into this profession in the first place!) nearly 90 music educators convened on the South Shore Conservatory campus in August of 2021 for a night of music making.
Now in its fifth year, The Commonwealth Wind Ensemble seeks to empower music educators to forge meaningful professional networks, reconnect with their instrument, view themselves as an artist, and model this for their students in performance.
