The Swedish Wind Ensemble (Swedish: Blåsarsymfonikerna) is a prominent Swedish wind orchestra.[1] The orchestra was founded in 1906 under the name Stockholms Spårvägsmäns Musikkår as a sextet and was initially under the direction of Stockholms Spårväg. The Wind Symphony is today part of the Stockholm County Music Department and has the Musikaliska as its home venue.[1] The artistic director and chief conductor is Cathrine Winnes, who succeeded Christian Lindberg in 2016.[2]
The orchestra celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2006, including a tour abroad.[3] Other major concerts include the annual Stockholm Lucia Concert with Adolf Fredrik's music classes and Stockholm Music High School, and the annual performance of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana".
