Southampton University Wind Orchestra

Southampton University Wind Orchestra was formed eight years ago by woodwind and brass players of the University of Southampton. Their aim was to create a band that performed challenging wind orchestra repertoire to a high standard, and that provided playing opportunities within the University that were of a higher standard that the Concert Band and included more woodwind and brass players than the Symphony Orchestra.

Today the orchestra has approximately fifty members and performs at least three concerts a year. Members are auditioned at the start of the academic year. The orchestra is run by a committee of students currently attending the University who work closely with conductor Adam Swayne, to select a challenging and enjoyable repertoire.
