Started in 2013, SaddleBrooke Winds and Strings (SBWS) is a nonprofit, educational, community-based association comprised of musicians dedicated to the performance of concert band music who come together on a regular basis to rehearse and perform for the benefit and education of the Southern Arizona community. See their website at Saddlebrookewindsandstrings.org.
We are a no-audition ensemble. We are especially looking for bassoon, trumpet, horn, euphonium, tuba, and percussion players, but we welcome all musicians of intermediate level and above. We rehearse on Friday mornings in SaddleBrooke and Catalina. For more information, contact us at info@saddlebrookewindsandstrings.org.
