It came into beeing in 1958 on the initiative of the then management of the Chemical Company “Stilon”. Since 1992 the orchestra has been acting in the City Cultural Centre. The Town Hall in Gorzów Wlkp. patronizes the orchestra. For the last 16 years, Bolesław Malicki has been managing the group. He graduated the Academy of Music in Wrocław and is the former band-master of military orchestras. There are teachers, old boys and students from schools of music, and musicians of the former Garrison Orchestra, in the orchestra. The Band gives concerts for the society of Gorzów within the region and abroad. Gorzowska Orkiestra Dęta plays successfully transcriptions of classical, film, folk, march, world popular and jazz music as well as sacral music.
The wind orchestra of the artistic school in Přelouč was founded in 1961. Since 2007 it is lead by Michal Chmelař. The Orchestra grows constantly – this affects the amount of musicians as well as the amount of instruments playing in the Orchestra. The biggest successes are the first prizes in some important competitions as: Prague (2008, 2014 – middle class, 2012 - higher class), Ostrava (2013), Leszno (2008), Vysoké Mýto (2010) and Bratislava (2011). The Orchestra does not only play concerts in the Czech Republic, but also in Estonia, Poland, France, Germany and Slovakia. Each year in June in cooperation with the town Přelouč the band organizes the wind music festival „Polanského Přelouč“.
