Central Iowa Wind Ensemble Fundraiser

The Central Iowa Wind Ensemble is an adult symphonic band with musicians drawn from the greater Des Moines area. The ensemble was founded in 2002 by a group of central Iowa music educators under the leadership of Dr. Evan Feldman, who led the group until 2005.  To this day, the ensemble maintains a strong contingent of educators, but membership has expanded to include musicians from a wide variety of musical backgrounds and occupations. The Central Iowa Wind Ensemble is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization registered as a corporation in the State of Iowa.

The Central Iowa Wind Ensemble strives to venture outside of the Des Moines area often to bring our musical experience to other surrounding areas.  We have travelled to Ames, Boone, Grinnell, Nevada, Pella, Perry,  and others.  We also routinely perform at high schools in the area to offer young musicians a chance to hear what musical opportunities are available beyond school, and sometimes even play in a combined concert with our group.
