Symphonic and Chamber Winds
Dr. Joan VanDessel, Director
A select group of woodwind, brass, and percussion players committed to the quality performance of outstanding wind ensemble and concert band literature. Each semester the Symphonic and Chamber Winds perform a full-length, formal concert consisting of standard and contemporary masterworks for concert band and wind ensemble. Chamber Winds, an elite group consisting of the best musicians from Symphonic Winds, performs outreach programs in several area churches and schools throughout the year. On a rotating basis, the Symphonic Winds conducts a week long tour to a major metropolitan area. At the beginning of each fall term, a weekend retreat is held off-campus to foster musical growth and camaraderie among its members. Symphonic Winds is open to all full-time students by audition and requires that all students participate in the ensemble for the entire academic year.
