Wind Ensemble

 

 

 

 

The Shepherd University Wind Ensemble is the premier wind group of Shepherd University and each year the audition becomes more competitive. The group is comprised of music majors and a few select non-majors.

This group has been invited to perform around the world. In 2001, the group accepted an invitation form the Lord Mayor of Dublin to tour Ireland. The ensemble performed throughout the country, including stops in Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Tramore, and Dublin.

In 2004, their outstanding recording of Barnes Symphony #3 garnered them an invitation to be a part of the 2005 season in Carnegie Hall. The well-attended concert received a standing ovation and was well received by the New York audience.

The Wind Ensemble will be performing on campus throughout the year, as well as performances in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic in May of 2009.
