The Wind Ensemble is a select group that approaches advanced repertoire and often participates in multi-media concerts. The ensemble has accompanied silent movies in original scores by student composers, accompanied live dance performance, and collaborated with guest soloists and actors, in addition to playing the great works in wind repertoire. The ensemble rehearses and performs during the fall and spring semesters, usually performing two to four concerts each term. Each year the group participates in a festival with the wind ensembles of Harvard University, Boston College, and Boston University. At the end of each term the ensemble usually shares a concert program with the Concert Band. Auditions are held at the beginning of the term, usually during the first few rehearsals and by appointment. Wind Ensemble is an extracurricular activity for many, but can also be taken as a free one-credit elective by registering for MUSC 1907. The course may be repeated for credit. The members of the Wind Ensemble come from all backgrounds and majors, and any interested member of the NU community is eligible to join.To inquire about auditions for the Spring 2023 semester, please email the ensemble director Allen Feinstein at a.feinstein@northeastern.edu!
