Wind, Brass & Percussion Ensembles

Wind and brass ensembles have roots in ceremonial music of long-ago times, but have also proven irresistable to firebrand composers of today.

The repertoire for percussion ensemble is primarily contemporary, and fills the hall with the sounds of instruments that are not found in most households, from marimbas to kettle drums.
