Leeet’s do a little Throwback Thursday, shall we?

The year? 2006. The place? New York City. TYWO was the first Canadian youth wind ensemble the be invited to perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall.

It was so so fun to take the band on tour for the very first time, and so many incredible memories were made, and friendships forged. We even stumbled upon the filming of SPIDER-MAN 3 (can you believe it?! Scroll to the end for pics!!!)!

Some featured alumni:

🎷 Chelsea Shanoff (Saxophone Performance Ph.D)
🖖 Ian Anhorn (Clarinet, TYWO Board Member, Metropolitan Winds of Toronto Member, Project Manager)
