Wind Ensemble

The Wind Ensemble is a highly select group of instrumentalists selected by private audition. Its composition, consistent with the history of chamber winds and the wind ensemble concept, is flexible and instrumentation is determined by the demands of the musical works it is performing. This ensemble performs a variety of works ranging from the 16th century brass music of Gabrielli, the harmonie of Mozart, to the exploratory compositions of the modern era. The Wind Ensemble exists as the primary concert ensemble in the Fall semester. During the Spring semester, the Wind Ensemble is incorporated as a part of the Symphony Band.

The Wind Ensemble concept is one which capitalizes on the strength of individual players, usually one on a part, and a changing instrumentation. The Tennessee Tech Wind Ensemble utilizes player rotation on many parts providing students with a rich ensemble experience.
