Printer FriendlyThe UMass Lowell New England Youth Wind Ensemble brings together students from the community with college students from the UML Department of Music. This is an Honor's Band environment. If you have had the opportunity to perform in junior district, districts, or the like, this is for you!
This type of wind ensemble provides a unique opportunity for all students. With only one individual per part, students learn to listen, interpret and perform across instrumental families, and to perform with soloists. Each musician is challenged with significant responsibilities.
The New England Youth Wind Ensemble is open to all New England high school students in grades 9-12. The ensemble meets on Monday evenings from 6:45 to 9 p.m. in the Durgin Concert Hall at UMass Lowell.
Auditions take place in January (Wed. 14, Thurs. 15 from 4 to 9 p.m.). The ensemble begins at the end of January and rehearses through April, with a concert Wednesday evening, May 6, 2009, at 7:30 p.m.
For more information contact Director Deb Huber at (978) 934-4133.
