The UALR Wind Ensemble

The UALR Wind Ensemble, conducted by Michael Underwood, is a new ensemble created in the fall of 2006. It is made up of music and non-music majors, faculty, and musicians from the community. Its mission is to educate our students while learning and performing the great classic literature for winds as well as transcriptions of the masters. To date, the UALR Wind Ensemble has performed works by Borodin, MacDowell, Mozart, Persichetti, Shostakovich, Fillmore and Sousa as well as a brand new work by UALR student, Jeffrey Higgins last fall. This year promises to be much more exciting as we continue to grow with the addition of Dr. Andy Wen, our newest faculty member and woodwind specialist.

If you are interested in joining the Wind Ensemble, please contact Michael Underwood at mpunderwood@ualr.edu or by calling (501) 569-3301 or (501) 569-3294 (main music office).
