Continue to express your love of music with The University Wind Ensemble! This ensemble provides you with the opportunity to perform the finest and most challenging traditional and contemporary wind and percussion literature by the finest composers.

The typical University Wind Ensemble (UWE) member is a highly-motivated student for whom making music is a personal priority. UWE performs six concerts a year, including the annual Bands of the Beanpot with 艾可直播 University, Harvard University, and Northeastern University, plus a BC Bands Christmas concert, and a concert during the Annual 艾可直播 College Arts Festival. UWE members will also have the opportunity to participate in chamber ensembles throughout the year.

In addition to musical excellence, the University Wind Ensemble is committed to building community and social engagement. As a new member, you will be assigned a UWE Buddy who will help you navigate the year with the ensemble as well as your transition to college. UWE also hosts BBQs, Coffee Dates, and other social activities.

Rehearsals are Mondays from 5:15-6:30 p.m. and Wednesdays from 4:15-6:30 p.m. Membership in the UWE is by audition or invitation of the Conductor.
