Welcome to the OSU Wind Ensemble!
Conducted by Dr. Christopher Chapman, the Oregon State University Wind Ensemble is a 47-member ensemble, which features the most outstanding brass, woodwind, and percussion players on campus.
The focus of this ensemble is to explore new literature as well as perform the masterworks of the wind band genre. The groups’ latest commissions include works by Ostwald winning composers Gregory Youtz, Michael Coolen and David Gillingham. Recent programs have included original music for wind ensemble by such notable composers as John Mackey, David Maslanka, Philip Sparke, David Dzubay, and Ron Nelson. The OSU Wind Ensemble has recently been featured at the Oregon Music Educators Conference and at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
