Austin Civic Wind Ensemble

A new ACWE season begins TODAY! 🎶

We’re kicking off our fall season with the Christmas concert we’ve always wanted to play, an evening of holiday music that goes well beyond the usual holiday favorites. 🎄✨

Think Russian Orthodox chant, Celtic atmosphere, unexpected minor key carols, Hanukkah music, and some seriously substantial wind ensemble works. Music that sounds like the holidays, but definitely isn’t background music!

We’re excited to start rehearsing today and bring this unique program to the community very soon!

Stay tuned! ❤️

Happy National Band Director's Day! We would like to take a moment to appreciate Robert Laguna. ACWE would not be the band we are today without your hard work, and dedication for over 20 years. While you challenge us, you also bring a fun and lighter side which keeps our members smiling and laughing. Thank you so much for everything you give! 🥰

What a splendid way to remember our Spring 2026 ACWE Season! 🎶🥳

After a rewarding season of music-making, 3 concerts, and hosting a hugely successful Texas Community Music Festival celebrating 20 years of bringing musicians and community together, it was special to gather outside the rehearsal hall and celebrate everything we accomplished together.

Thank you to everyone who came out after our concerts for great company, plenty of laughs, and CAKE! We had an amazing turnout, and it was the perfect way to wrap up another memorable season. 🎂🎉

🎶Join ACWE this weekend for 2 concerts!! We will go on an extraordinary musical voyage that celebrates humanity's timeless connection to water. We've really been looking forward to performing this challenging set of pieces free to the public at Anderson High School's Performing Arts Center! Don't miss it! 🎶

Want to hear a bunch of wonderful ensembles all right under one roof? Well, you're in luck! The Austin Civic Wind Ensemble is holding a small ensemble concert at Covenant United Methodist Church featuring six of its very own small ensembles. Come out and support our groups from 2pm to 4pm on May 23rd. Feel free to come at any time during this period to listen to each group or your favorite group. We would love to see you there!

It's always a great time hanging with ACWE folks- thanks to all who came out recently to Casa Chapala on a Saturday afternoon. Hope to see more at our next upcoming Social! 🦋
