Art Best Teacher

AArt is the Best Teacher: Works by Colorado's Higher Education Faculty

Their pieces are on display at the Colorado State Capitol thru May 14, 2012.

Wind Ensemble

AThe University of Northern Colorado's Wind Ensemble spent most of the school's winter break on a multi-city performance tour in China. The 47-member group, under the direction of Music Professor Ken Singleton, left Dec. 21 for a two-week trip that included performances in Shanghai, Beijing and Qingquan.

The ensemble, whose ranks include both undergraduate and graduate students,  performed an "American sampler" consisting of 13 pieces, most of which the audiences had not heard before.

They were accompanied by Richard Mayne, associate director of bands at UNC, and Assistant Professor of Music Lei Weng, who joined the group on piano for the concert's closing number, George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.  Weng is a Chinese national, and the trip was organized through his Chinese agent's management group, which funded the majority of the trip's costs. Additional funding is came from the students, the UNC School of Music and other campus organizations.

The Wind Ensemble is comprised of the university's foremost musicians. Essentially an orchestral woodwind/brass/percussion section supplemented by saxophones and keyboards, the ensemble explores challenging one-player-per-part wind music by a variety of composers. Membership is determined by audition and is open to music and non-music majors.
