The Hong Kong Wind Philharmonia is a distinguished group of 50 Hong Kong-based professional musicians specializing in the performance of music written for wind orchestra and a variety of other works arranged for instruments of the wind family. The chief goal is to perform music of the highest professional caliber for a broad-based and diverse audience in Hong Kong.

The musicians of the Hong Kong Wind Philharmonic, all of whom live in Hong Kong, have studied abroad and most have held professional jobs around the world before returning to contribute their talents to the cultural life of Hong Kong. Their dedication is reflected in the fact that nearly all of the members are also experienced teachers. 

Wind music is a traditional adjunct to the school curriculum in Hong Kong, and another goal of this organization is to both inspire and educate Hong Kong's future musicians through performances and workshops. Young musicians were well represented in the audience of the wind orchestra�s debut concert and, hopefully, the band�s performances will encourage Hong Kong students to seek a high level of excellence in their musical studies.

The group has used the excitement created by its past concerts to successfully launch the Hong Kong Youth Wind Philharmonia in 2003 and the Hong Kong Junior Wind Philharmonia in 2004. Members of both of these groups are guided and trained by members of the Hong Kong Wind Philharmonic. 

Music Director of the Hong Kong Wind Philharmonic is Jerry F. Junkin, Conductor of the Dallas Wind Symphony and Director of Bands and Professor of Conducting at The University of Texas at Austin. Performances conducted by Prof. Junkin have been heard by millions of listeners through radio broadcasts and on compact disc recordings. Performances under his direction have won the praise of many leading composers, including Gunther Schuller, Karel Husa, William Kraft, and Michael Colgrass.
