ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE:

The UMBC Wind Ensemble, a group of diverse students and community members, has pioneered a new vision for the wind ensemble in the 21st century. Performing wind ensemble classics, world premieres of contemporary works, spoken word pieces, popular songs, collaboratively composed originals, and music with cultural influences from around the world, the group regularly collaborates with a wide array of artists and community partners to engage audiences in pressing social issues through music, multimedia, and discussion. Filtering, the ensemble's debut album released on the Albany label in April 2022, is available on all major streaming services.
