Finally a festival that celebrates Percy Grainger! Music Celebrations is pleased to present the first annual Percy Grainger Wind Band Festival in Chicago’s famed Orchestra Hall. Long considered the most important composer of wind band literature, Grainger’s music is presented in the world’s grandest venues to district and all-state band conferences throughout the United States.

The Percy Grainger Wind Band Festival will feature four outstanding wind ensembles conducting 30 – 40 minutes of stand-alone performances of Percy Grainger literature in an afternoon matinee performance in Chicago’s Historic Orchestra Hall. Each participating ensemble will also take part in a clinic with Col. Dennis Layendecker.

All band selections are made through Music Celebrations, and every effort will be made to ensure that each ensemble’s program will not overlap onto one another. Please note that we require each band have a minimum of 40 performers.

Ensembles will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve, rolling basis. Early applicants are given preference and priority.
