CELEBRATING OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY
25 Years of Music, Community & Pride
For 25 years, Palm Springs Desert Winds has brought musicians and audiences together through the power of music. Founded in 2001 as the Desert Winds Freedom Band, the organization celebrates its 25th anniversary season with a new name and logo, honoring its roots while looking toward the future.
Today, Desert Winds is a vibrant LGBTQ+ musical organization featuring a symphonic band, jazz band, and smaller ensembles performing throughout the Coachella Valley. Beyond the stage, we invest in the next generation of musicians through educational workshops, musical mentorship, and scholarships totaling nearly $80,000.
As we celebrate a quarter-century of music, community, and pride, we're looking forward to the next 25 years.
