Gwinnett Symphony

In 2013, the Gwinnett Symphony Jazz Orchestra was added, broadening the organization s musical offerings and celebrating America s rich jazz traditions, with Jose Garcia appointed as its director. In 2014, the Gwinnett Symphony Wind Orchestra was established, providing a dedicated ensemble for wind, brass, and percussion musicians. Thomas Wubbenhorst served as the ensemble s first conductor before later passing the baton to Robert Dunham. The Wind Orchestra enjoyed five successful seasons before becoming inactive during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, Rick Smith founded the Gwinnett Symphony Chamber Singers, a select vocal ensemble dedicated to chamber repertoire, community performances, and regional appearances throughout the Southeast. To simplify and modernize its public identity, the Gwinnett Symphony Musical Arts Consortium was later rebranded as simply Gwinnett Symphony.
