The Wind Ensemble is designed for experienced amateurs and students to rehearse and perform significant repertoire written for the medium. Some of the repertoire will be studied in depth and form the basis for several concerts the ensemble will give during the week. The remainder will be played in repertoire sessions.
This year we are fortunate in having the eminent composer Adam Gorb join us. Adam will work with the Wind Conducting Course and assist in the preparation of his works for performance with the Wind Ensemble. There will be a close relationship with the Wind Conducting Course and several opportunities will be made for playing chamber music.
Applicants are asked to note any “doubling” instruments they play and can bring (e.g. Cor Anglais, Alto Clarinet etc.) on their enrolment form.
