The Winter Festival for Winds and Percussion is a unique concert band and chamber ensemble festival for high school students (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors). The festival is designed to give participants an outstanding and comprehensive playing experience. Festival participants are chosen through a recorded audition process. Students attending the festival are involved in three different ensembles: an honor band; a chamber ensemble, coached by one of the Glenn Korff School of Music’s talented applied wind and percussion faculty; and a large symphonic band that combines the festival honor band with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Wind Ensemble. Students also participate in a masterclass with the applied wind and percussion faculty. If you have questions, please contact the Band Office (band@unl.edu), 402-472-2505 or visit: unl.edu/band.

This event is free and open to the public.
