The UL Lafayette Wind Ensemble will present a free concert on April 19 at 7:30 p.m. in Angelle Hall.
The Ensemble will perform works by David Maslanka, William Walton, Michael Djupstrom, Darius Milhaud, Timothy Mahr and Thomas Knox.
The public is invited.
The UL Lafayette Wind Ensemble comprises 50 students from across the entire university. Membership is by invitation following auditions, resulting in an elite ensemble of the school’s finest wind and percussion players.
Performances may include works ranging from the full compliment (for traditional symphonic band music), to ensembles of as few as 13 players. The group’s repertoire is diverse and eclectic, concentrating on original wind literature from all style periods. New music is featured, as well as transcriptions of the highest quality. The Wind Ensemble has twice been featured at festivals across central France and the Riviera.
