The MIT Wind Symphony, directed by Fred Harris, offers students an opportunity to play literature from the Renaissance through the 20th century for woodwind, brass, and percussion. The repertoire consists primarily of original music composed for large wind band and choirs of woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments. Dedicated to performing new music, the ensemble annually commissions works from a diverse body of composers. Students have the opportunity to interact with guest composers and soloists and enjoy a comprehensive musical experience. Four concerts are presented each year with occasional tours and outreach programs.
Membership is by audition only.
