Dedicated to presenting the best in all varieties of band music, the Symphony specializes in pieces written or arranged for bands during the first half of the 20th century, widely recognized as the "Golden Era" of concert bands in America. Its repertoire also includes popular tunes, Broadway show scores, marches from around the world, and selections written for and exclusively performed by the ensemble.

Founded by Executive & Musical Director Casey Bork in 1996, the Whitehouse Wind Symphony has grown rapidly, attracting experienced musicians as regular members from all over New Jersey, as well as New York City and Eastern Pennsylvania. The group holds weekly rehearsals on Tuesday evenings at the Matheny School in Peapack, NJ.

Over the past few years, the Symphony has performed in Chatham, Chester, Clark, Clinton, Cranford, Flemington, Hillside, Oxford, Pattenburg, Peapack, South Plainfield, Readington, Somerville, Tewksbury and Whitehouse. For a listing of our most recent, and currently scheduled, concerts, please visit the Events section of this website.

The Symphony has recorded two CD's - "Whitehouse Sleighride" featuring holiday favorites, and "Not Your Concert In The Park" with selections from its 2000 outdoor summer concert series. These CDs may be purchased at any of our concerts.

MISSION STATEMENT
"Our philosophy is to provide a high-level playing experience with emphasis on reading many varied selections from new and old literature. Players should be accomplished, prepared, and willing to play any section position that contributes to the overall sound and balance. Although accuracy is a highly valued goal, our primary aim is to make exciting, passionate music for the joy and growth of the players.”
