Wind Ensemble
The Wind Ensemble is a 50-member group that performs a wide variety of music. The ensemble performs two or three concerts each year and is conducted by Tom Souza. Membership is open to the Brandeis and surrounding communities.
Auditions
The Wind Ensemble holds placement auditions for fall and spring semester. It is going to work a little differently this year. If you are happy where you are, then you don't need to audition. However, I do reserve the right to adjust your seat to keep the sections balanced. If you would like to try and move up, then come prepared to play.
Please prepare a short piece (for example an etude, excerpt from a larger work, parts of a sonata or concerto etc). Choose a piece which best shows your ability; a fast piece and a slow piece is preferred. If you are in the ensemble and audition to move up and are not successful, you won't lose seating.
Members who are new to the group (freshmen and current students) will be required to audition for seating placement.
