This new release from The Mansfield University Concert Wind Ensemble presents wind band classics from Percy Grainger, Charles Ives, Frank Ticheli, and more. The Mansfield University Concert Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Adam F. Brennan, has been hailed as an outstanding performing ensemble, richly sensitive, musically compelling, and deeply passionate in their interpretation of cutting edge wind and percussion repertoire. The ensemble consists of 49 auditioned performers from the MU music department and university. The Concert Wind Ensemble records and performs annually on campus and throughout the Eastern region on tours and at conventions and special events. The band program also maintains a large symphonic band, an authentic brass band, both under the direction of Nathan Rinnert, a jazz lab band, an outstanding marching band and a basketball band. In addition, numerous chamber ensembles in the wind and percussion area are available to interested and capable musicians.
