DR. ROBERT J. STRECKFUSS is Artistic Director of the Wind Symphony. For twenty-two seasons it has been his vision and skill that has made the group into the pre-eminent exponent of symphonic wind music in the Delaware Valley.
Dr. Streckfuss' scholarship in music for massed winds and his enthusiasm for the medium is our greatest resource. He creates fresh, exciting programs ranging from the 16th to the 20th century, covering chamber music to jazz. He has expanded the Wind Symphony's horizons with international tours and recording projects.
