The Jacobs School of Music Concert Band performs major works of the traditional wind band repertoire and new compositions by leading composers. This outstanding ensemble, which includes graduate and undergraduate music majors, performs two or three concerts per semester and rehearses daily. A core group is often formed from the ensemble’s membership to form various chamber winds groups.
The band has played under the direction of various guest conductors including Frederick Fennell, Donald Hunsberger, John Whitwell and Ray Cramer and composers Karel Husa, Warren Benson, Samuel Adler, and Frank Ticheli. The group has recently premiered works by David Dzubay, Kevin Wilt, Joni Greene, and Kevin Walczyk.
