|||
The Pacific Lutheran University Wind Ensemble is comprised of the some of the best performers of wind and percussion instruments at the University and is recognized as one of the finest groups of its kind in the entire Northwest. Following the philosophy of a player pool, adopting flexible instrumentation according to the composer’s intention, the full ensemble of approximately 50 players is a soloistic and technically proficient ensemble performing chamber music, selected transcriptions, concerti and original full ensemble repertoire spanning five centuries. The ensemble performs four concerts on campus per season as well as appearing regularly at local schools, national conferences, festivals and special events. Under the direction of Dr. Edwin Powell recent highlights have been the ensemble's 2007 January Tour culminating in a critically acclaimed performance at the Music Educators National Conference Northwest Division meeting in Portland, Oregon. In October of 2007, the Wind Ensemble will perform the World Premier of a new work by the renowned composer Scott McAllister and is planning an international tour in the summer of 2009.
