Welcome to the online home of PUWE
Princeton University Wind Ensemble Spring 2012
Founded in the spring of 1997 by sophomore Rick Modica '99, the Princeton University Wind Ensemble performs both traditional and modern concert band literature. Past programs have included works by a wide variety of composers, from Sousa to Bernstein to Grainger to Persichetti to Shostakovich to Williams. We welcome all woodwind, brass, and percussion instrumentalists and encourage any undergraduate or graduate musicians interested in joining the ensemble to contact us.
This season, PUWE is proud to welcome back lifetime musician and Philadelphia Pops trumpeter, Robert Gravener, to the conductor's podium!
This Spring, the wind ensemble will rehearse on Sundays and Wednesdays from 7:00-9:00 PM in McAlpin Rehearsal Hall, Woolworth Center beginning on Sunday, February 12. For more information or if you have any questions, please click "Contact Us" at the top right of this page.
