To bring the concert season to a close, the UNL Wind Ensemble returns to where they began. Another collection of inspirational fragments comes together to provide a glimpse of the human psyche in its infinite diversity. Geometry, botany, emotional abandon, Guy Fawkes, a chance encounter between Schubert and Stravinsky on the Appalachian Trail, a common turn of phrase… Composers Roger Zare, Frank Felice, Carter Pann, Robert Linn, Michael Torke, and Jonathan Newman each contribute to a beautiful, varied, and inspiring portrait.

The Wind Ensemble, directed by Carolyn Barber, is the university’s premiere concert band. Its select mission is to provide instrumentalists of advanced technical proficiency a pre-professional ensemble experience.
