The U-M Symphony Band is known for its professional quality of performance and keen sense of “trailblazing” in building repertoire. The Symphony Band splits into chamber groups for one concert each term, allowing the musicians to improve communications between instrument sections, helping to build a more cohesive band when they again rehearse as a full ensemble. The Chamber Winds perform both standard and modern works.
