Do you play a wind or brass instrument? Do you like making music in a group? Consider auditioning for Wind and Brass Chamber Ensemble! This spring, we’ll meet weekly to read through repertoire from the past, present and future. We’ll finish the term with an outdoor concert on the Jennings or Commons Porch!
As a chamber ensemble, choices about arrangements, interpretation, creativity, and leadership will come from within the group.
