指导:博士. 大卫Vickerman, the 风合奏 is comprised of the finest woodwind, brass, and percussion students in the 音乐学院 and Dance. Dr. Vickerman一致 seeks to expose his students and audiences to the highest quality of music written for wind instruments, ranging from Renaissance masters to the most recent prizewinning 作曲家. Through the rehearsal and performance of a diverse repertoire, students are exposed to a wide variety of compositional techniques, rehearsal processes and expressive possibilities. The 风合奏 programs are performed in both the fall 春季学期. In addition to four on-campus concerts, the 风合奏 regularly tours throughout California and the Western states, and has regularly performed at the California 音乐 Educators State Conference and at the College Band Directors 全国会议.

音乐 Majors focusing on classical performance must participate in either 风合奏 or 交响乐团 as a major ensemble. Auditions are held at the beginning of each semester and are open to all majors (see below). Students will sight-read and perform 准备好的一块. Their performance level will determine their chair placement and whether they participate in 风合奏 or 交响乐团. Instruments are available to students who pay the $30 use fee each semester. Scholarship awards are based upon performance level and the needs of the School. There is no additional cost to the student for local and regional band travel and tours.
