We are Hydra Winds, LLC, a wind quintet based in the Northeast. We are dedicated to creating meaningful connections through the power of music, bringing diverse audiences together with every performance. Our work centers on exploring, celebrating, and bringing to life innovative music by new and living composers, embracing the ever-evolving landscape of classical music. Through collaboration, creativity, and a deep passion for our craft, we aim to inspire and engage listeners while enriching the cultural fabric of our community.

Thanks to generous donor support, we have recently fully funded the commission of a new work by Kyrese Washington.

Hydra Winds is now preparing to record our debut album in May 2026, centered on the theme of community. The album will feature works exclusively by living composers. All donations made between January and May will directly support the creation of this album. Please consider donating—any amount is welcome and deeply appreciated.
