The Brass Ensemble is a large chamber music ensemble that meets weekly for rehearsals. It is open to all brass players and focuses on brass performance techniques and experience through the exploration of repertoire composed and/or arranged specifically for large brass. Excerpts from orchestral repertoire as well as chamber music ranging from traditional brass quintet to instrument choirs are also studied. With a focus on performance experience, there is one concert every quarter, as well as performances off campus. The brass ensemble provides opportunities for conductors who are graduate Teaching Assistants in the conducting program. The ensemble and conductors are mentored, coached and managed by Professor Jens Lindemann.
