Wind Orchestra

Comprised of approximately 60 undergraduate and graduate students who have attained an exceptional level of proficiency on their instruments, the Illinois Wind Orchestra is the second artistic concert band of the University of Illinois band program. Like the Wind Symphony, the Wind Orchestra performs large and chamber wind repertoire, new / contemporary music, and has a specific curricular design focused on variety of styles throughout the year.  The ensemble works on the flexible "pool" concept so that each work in the curriculum is staffed with the instrumentation that the composer envisioned.  The UI Wind Orchestra rehearses 5 hours per week, generally presents three concerts per semester, and has a mission of collaboration with other ensembles.  The performance range of this ensemble includes campus, local area, and statewide events.  The UI Wind Orchestra is open to music majors and non-majors by audition.
