Meridiem Wind Orchestra is a unique ensemble currently in its tenth season. Although Victoria boasts a rich selection of community ensembles, the Meridiem Wind Orchestra stands out due to its complex repertoire which demands a skill level that only highly trained and dedicated instrumentalists obtain. Past programs have included wind ensemble repertoire of historic works, popular and contemporary music, orchestral transcriptions, as well as world premieres of new compositions by Canadian composers.
The Meridiem Wind Orchestra is a not-for-profit Arts Organization and a Wind Ensemble collegiate dedicated to three important Mandates:
– to Model wind and percussion ensemble music for over 1500 young people involved in Band programs all over the Greater Victoria region.
– to Create a collaborative experience for professional musicians in the Greater Victoria region.
– to Inspire music lovers with high quality performances of outstanding repertoire written for the symphonic wind ensemble.
The membership of this ensemble includes professional musicians who also perform with the Victoria Symphony, the Victoria Operatic Society and the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific. Membership also includes music educators from the University of Victoria, Greater Victoria School District, Sooke School District and the Saanich School District.
