Nottingham Wind Ensemble

NWE, established in 1988, is the sister group of Nottingham Symphonic Winds. It is a community wind band of mixed ages and abilities which performs a wide variety of music to help raise money for local community projects. 'Windblowers', the Nottingham Music Shop, is their principal sponsor.

If you are learning an instrument, are a lapsed musician or just looking for somewhere to play regularly with other people, we'd love to hear from you! The ethos of the group is friendly and inclusive - a great environment to develop ensemble-playing skills. The entry level standard is equivalent to around Grade 3 - although you don't have to have passed any exams you need to be able to read music reasonably comfortably as we play from written parts. We always need new players, so if you are a wind, brass or percussion player and would like to know more then contact Windblowers 01159 410543.
