NEC Wind Ensemble

Artist(s)

The NEC Wind Ensemble provides wind, brass, and percussion students the opportunity to explore and perform music from the Renaissance through the present day. This experience in a wide range of repertoire prepares the aspiring artist for today’s musically diverse professional world. The NECWE has created music for its mission, ranging from new editions of Gabrieli to commissioning and premiering new works by Pulitzer Prize composers Michael Colgrass, John Harbison, Gunther Schuller, and David Lang, as well as Michael Gandolfi, André Previn, Sir Michael Tippett, and Daniel Pinkham. In addition to its concert series in Jordan Hall, the ensemble has also appeared at Carnegie Hall and the National Arts Center of Canada. Each year, faculty and students appear as soloists in concert with the Wind Ensemble.
