Wind Ensemble

John P. Lynch, Conductor, Director of Bands

The Wind Ensemble has earned an international reputation for its artistry. Membership, determined each semester by blind audition, includes the most accomplished graduate and undergraduate UGA music majors. Employing flexible scoring, the Wind Ensemble performs works for eight to eighty players, and presents repertoire composed from the Middle Ages to tomorrow. Championing the performance of new music, the ensemble has rich history of commissioning the rising stars of composition. In addition to commissioning and premiering new works, the Wind Ensemble tours nationally and internationally, hosts acclaimed guest artists, and records on the Naxos label. Most recently, the ensemble performed at the 2009 national CBDNA conference in Austin. The Wind Ensemble embraces the new band sound, which idealizes clarity, color, and resonance.
