Woodwind Chamber Ensembles

The UCLA Woodwind Chamber Ensembles play a wide range of styles and sizes—from Renaissance music through recent pieces from the 21st Century, and from trios to octets and larger. Aided by weekly coaching, ensembles work with the challenges of coordinating their playing without a conductor, using rehearsal time well, and developing a convincing and expressive performance. Collaboration is at the heart of the work. Fundamental issues are always in play: leading and following, playing and listening, accuracy and expression, analysis and imagination.
