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 16, Thurs 17 from 4-9pm). The ensemble begins at the end of January and rehearses through April, with a concert Wednesday evening, May 7, 2008, at 7:30pm. For more information contact Director Deb Huber at (978) 934-4133.
