Wind Ensemble

The University of Texas Wind Ensemble is one of America’s elite wind bands. Commissioning new music since 1988, the group has offered world premiere performances of works by composers such as John Corigliano, Michael Daugherty, Donald Grantham, David Maslanka, and Omar Thomas.

The Wind Ensemble made its international debut in 1991 at the Fifth Conference of the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles in Manchester, England, and its national debut in 1998 at Carnegie Hall in New York.

In addition to serving as noted educators and conductors, graduates of The University of Texas Wind Ensemble hold major positions in each of the Washington D.C.-based military bands as well as major symphony orchestras throughout the world.
