Join the CU Boulder Wind Symphony for Second Nature, our final concert of the semester: We are thrilled to collaborate with the ~Nois Saxophone Quartet and acclaimed composer Viet Cuong in an evening of evocative music. The program will feature "Traveler" by David Maslanka; "Second Nature," a saxophone quartet concerto by Cuong performed by ~Nois; "Spiel for Wind Orchestra" by Ernst Toch; and "Transitions" by Henry Dorn. We look forward to seeing you in Macky Auditorium!

The Wind Symphony comprises the College of Music's most outstanding wind, brass and percussion students. Founded in 1978, the group is committed to performing the finest wind repertoire, regardless of era or ensemble size—ranging from recently performed works by Ida Gotkovsky and the college's own Carter Pann to additional diverse works by Carlos Simon, Omar Thomas, Joan Tower and Xi Wang. The Wind Symphony also values the importance of collaboration by working with various faculty and guest artists. Performances on campus and across Colorado, as well as at conferences and abroad, have earned the ensemble international acclaim.
