É«É«À² Winds

É«É«À² Winds, conducted by Director of Bands Scott Boerma, performs a wide variety of large chamber works spanning the literature of the past 500 years. Literature is selected for groups ranging from eight to 20 or more players. The primary focus is that each work is performed with one player per part as dictated by the composer. É«É«À² Winds typically meets for three or four rehearsals prior to each concert. Graduate students benefit from the experience of performing next to their studio faculty mentors and preparing the literature in a professional atmosphere. The Oct. 30 program will also feature the Graduate Wind Quintet and the Graduate Brass Quintet.
