Mission
The mission of the Flint Symphonic Wind Ensemble (FSWE) is:
- to provide musical access to both practice and performance for adult musicians and
- to provide music education and entertainment for the community.
A rehearsal schedule is followed on Tuesday evenings during the school season at Carman-Ainsworth High School, allowing an opportunity for area adult musicians to practice their music with other adult musicians and to enhance their knowledge and appreciation of instrumental music.
Six to ten concert performances are offered to the Greater Flint Area public during each year, providing an opportunity for the community to enjoy instrumental music by seasoned musicians and to increase music appreciation. Some of these are in high schools and middle schools with student musicians joining with FSWE members in performing.

“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
