The Foothill Symphonic Winds (FSW) was formed in 1980. The ensemble performs classical and contemporary works written or transcribed for symphonic wind ensemble or concert band. The aim is to assist the musicians in continuing their musical growth while also providing high-caliber musical entertainment for the community. The FSW was a class offered by Foothill College in Los Altos Hills until all Music Performance classes were cancelled in the summer of 2011. The members of the FSW wanted to continue to operate in its traditional format, except as a non-profit organization. Articles of Incorporation were filed, a Board of Directors elected, and 501(c)(3) tax exempt status granted to the FSW by the IRS.

For
the 2022-3 performance year, the FSW will rehearse Wednesday
evenings at the Mountain View High School, Packard Hall, 3535

We meet in Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions. Our first rehearsal of the Spring session will be Wednesday, March 29, 2023, downbeat at 7:30 PM. While we don't have a fixed instrumentation, we do have a limit on our total membership for musical and logistical reasons.

The Linköping Brass
Band, from Palo Alto’s Swedish Sister City, will be
performing a free concert – Classy, Sassy & Brassy – in
conjunction with the locally-based Foothill Symphonic Winds
Brass Ensemble.
Sister Cities since
1987, Palo Alto and Linköping have enjoyed a long history of
cultural exchanges. The Linköping Brass Band is making its
first trip to Palo Alto as part of a west coast tour of
Canada and the United States. The originally scheduled
Spring 2020 performance was scrapped due to the COVID
pandemic. Joining the 30-member Swedish band will be the
Foothill Symphonic Winds Brass Ensemble, a group which
provides Peninsula musicians an opportunity to continue
their musical growth while also providing high-caliber
musical entertainment to the community.
The evening’s performance will be dedicated to Neighbors Abroad past president and longtime member, Barabra Evans, who died in September 2022. Evans made frequent trips to Sweden during her tenure with Neighbors Abroad. She and her husband, Joe, often hosted visitors from Linköping at their home during officials’ delegation trips to Palo Alto. |
