Coups de Vents : Research, creation and training for wind music

What we do

Municipal bands, wind orchestras and brass bands in (almost) all our towns and villages: this is one of the great characteristics and original features of Hauts-de-France and Pas de Calais. It’s something we can be proud of! These brass bands are a breeding ground that has been spotted all over the world.

Yet this exceptional living heritage is under threat. The main reason? A lack of repertoire that is both appropriate and rewarding.

Since its creation in 2004, Coups de Vents has had one mission: to develop and modernise wind orchestras in their historic territories. To achieve this, we organise prestigious international competitions to renew the repertoire, as well as training sessions for musicians and conductors, special events and numerous concerts.

We’re all about stirring up harmony!
