Hong Kong Performers Winds
Hong Kong Performers Winds (HKPW)（香港演奏家管樂團） is a non-profit organisation established in September 2005, by around 60 professional and amateur musicians.
==Aim== The aim of the wind orchestra is to promote wind band music, at the same time providing opportunities for musicians to widen their interests and knowledge in music. Apart from the regular band concerts, HKPW is also dedicated to promoting symphonic band music through various performances and musical exchanges. To support art development and independent artists, HKPW dedicates their expertise in art administration and what they gained from concerts to help organise recitals for independent artists since 2010. This new move of HKPW aims to help artists to gain performing experience and to introduce solo and ensemble music of wind instruments to the public via recitals. Beside, HKPW also hope to gather wind instrument players and provide opportunities to exchange and share experience and expertise.
