University Wind Ensemble

The Wind Ensemble was formed in 1906 and is the oldest continuing musical organization at Concordia. The ensemble has undertaken vigorous concert programs emphasizing sacred, multicultural and contemporary literature in addition to the traditional concert band repertoire. The Wind Ensemble, Concordia’s premier instrumental organization, tours throughout the United States. A tour to China was made in the summer of 2007.
