Founded in 2015, the Ars Ventus Association focused initially on the activity of the Bucharest Wind Ensemble, organizing artistic events through partnerships with cultural organizations. In 2018, based on the experience gained, the association started organizing the Bucharest International Music Competition, a chamber music competition for wind quintet and brass quintet. Currently, all resources are focused on the two pillars – the competition and the ensemble – with the aim of raising awareness about chamber music for wind instruments.
