The MIT Wind Ensemble, conducted by Fred Harris, offers advanced students the opportunity to study and perform literature from the Renaissance through the 20th century, for octet to full wind ensemble. Repertoire may include Mozart, Dvorak, and contemporary serenades, brass ensemble music from Gabrieli to Schuller, and various mixed media including strings. The Wind Ensemble also occasionally commissions works for flexible instrumentation and features student or professional soloists. Four concerts are presented each year either on campus or at venues throughout Boston.
Membership is by audition only.
