| The Valley Winds is a volunteer wind ensemble, offering professional-level performances to a diverse community throughout the Pioneer Valley. This fiscal year, The Valley Winds provided 4 concerts in venues across the local area, all free to the public, reaching an audience of almost 500. The Valley Winds supports and regularly programs music composed by underrepresented composers which educates our musicians and audiences by bringing diverse, new music to local venues. The Valley Winds relies on our members for their generous donation of time. Each of the 4 concerts involving 5 -50 members at $25/hour exceeds $27,000 in donated time. | $0 | $9,732 |
| In furtherance of its core mission, The Valley Winds has launched a musical composition publishing effort aimed at supporting disadvantaged composers. By publishing wind ensemble music from Latin American and Mexican composers, this initiative seeks to diversify and enrich the repertoire while celebrating cultural heritage. It delivers engaging performances to a wider audience and offers valuable educational opportunities for students and musicians in the community. With growing diversity in local schools and a need for representative music, this effort fills an important gap, ensuring lasting impact and fostering cross-cultural collaboration. This fiscal year, The Valley Winds awarded contracts for 14 works from underrepresented composers and paid out $4,500 in royalties.. | $0 | $5,600 |
