About WEST MICHIGAN NEW HORIZONS MUSIC ENSEMBLES
West Michigan New Horizons Music Ensembles (WMNHME) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, founded to provide adult musicians with opportunities for ensemble music-making, social connection, and continued musical growth. WMNHME organizes multiple ensembles (including a symphonic band, big band, German band, and handbell ensemble), holds daytime rehearsals from September through May, and presents seasonal public concerts.
