Championing Australian composers

AWO performs, records and promotes works by both emerging and established Australian composers, with a special focus on supporting South Australian composition in partnership with the Elder Conservatorium of Music composition program.

Forging Performance Pathways

Founded by graduates of the Elder Conservatorium of Music, AWO connects distinguished alumni with professional, pre-professional and dedicated amateur wind, brass and percussionists who strive to perform music to a high standard of excellence.

Professional symphonic winds

Driven by a love for the symphonic wind ensemble, AWO presents professional performances that advance the awareness, aesthetic, and artistic appreciation of the medium to the general public, whilst supporting its growth and development across the wider musical community.
