The University Wind Ensemble is an auditioned group of 50 to 60 instrumentalists with a diverse range of musical interests and experience. Presenting one concert per quarter, the UWE focuses on modern literature conceived specifically for the wind ensemble medium, providing its members the opportunity to perform music by such renowned wind composers as Malcolm Arnold, Percy Grainger, Gustav Holst, Frank Ticheli, and more. Periodically the ensemble also regularly programs transcriptions of orchestral masterpieces by J. S. Bach, Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, and others. Membership includes talented undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, and community members who are dedicated to bringing a wide array of interesting music to the University community.
