Background:

The University Wind Ensemble, acclaimed for its broad repertoire and excellence, regularly performs works ranging from contemporary chamber literature by composers including Ticheli, Persichetti and Dello Joio to traditional concert band music by Sousa and Post. Comprised of the finest instrumental majors in the Music Department, the ensemble has been invited to perform throughout the world. Last spring the ensemble toured Japan performing in Tokyo, at the Yamaha musical instrument faculty near Hamamatsu, and for the Japan Band Director’s Association annual clinic at Nemo-No-Sato. They have also performed at the Fourth of July Celebration in Ribald, Denmark and were invited to perform in Moscow for the 125th anniversary of the Moscow Conseratoire of Music.

The Symphonic Band serves an important role in the Department of Music and also for students from all areas of Fullerton campus. By performing music of varied styles, music majors and non-majors alike have ample opportunity for musical expression and growth. The Symphonic Band is also active in providing concerts for community and school groups.
