Welcome to the New Home of PUWE
Princeton University Wind Ensemble Spring 2010
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 lifetime musician and Philadelphia Pops trumpeter, Bob Gravener, to the conductor's podium!
In the coming Spring semester, the wind ensemble will rehearse on Sundays and Wednesdays from 7:00 - 9:00 PM in McAlpin Auditorium, Woolworth Center. We are a non-audition group so anyone interested in joining is welcome to show up with their instrument! For more information or if you have any questions, please use the "Questions?" box on the right or click "Contact Us" at the top right of this page.
Spring Open Rehearsals!
Attention Princeton undergraduate and graduate students! If you play a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument, we want YOU to become a member of the Princeton University Wind Ensemble. This semester, we are especially looking for low brass and percussion players, but as always, we welcome all interested musicians.

These rehearsals will be held on Wednesday February 3, 2010 and Wednesday February 10, 2010 from 7:00-9:00 PM in McAlpin Auditorium, Woolworth Center. Mark you calendars! We look forward to seeing you!
