Established in 2000, the Arizona Wind Symphony (AWS) proudly continues its residency at the vibrant Tempe Center for the Arts, a partnership that began in 2007. Founded by Conductor William J. Richardson, AWS has evolved into a premier wind symphony under the leadership of Artistic Director and Conductor Jon Gomez, who assumed the role in 2023. The ensemble comprises both music professionals and talented enthusiasts who collaborate with featured guest artists to present noteworthy concerts. United by their dedication to the arts, the Arizona Wind Symphony celebrates the magic of music and enriches the cultural landscape of the Greater Phoenix community.
