Both undergraduate and graduate percussion majors perform in the ensemble as it serves to strengthen students' musical and technical abilities on all percussion instruments.

During the past fifty years, the music world has witnessed the development of a new approach to the wind band, an approach that has drawn attention to an emerging original repertoire and to new performance possibilities for concerted wind music. Many conductors, composers and performers have moved from the popular-culture aspects of the traditional band toward a classical performance-based medium. Using an instrumentation similar to that of a "double orchestral wind section", the wind ensemble performs music composed during the past five centuries for winds, brass, percussion and keyboards. A majority of the repertoire composed specifically for various combinations of these instruments has been created during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. With the rich history of the past, the contemporary wind ensemble provides a wide variety of music ranging from the classical octet to contemporary chamber repertoire and the sonorous full ensemble.

UConn Collegium: Soul of Rome – Palestrina at 500   Born five hundred years ago this year, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina composed music that has been studied and emulated by composers and theorists for over four hundred years due the remarkably consistent quality of its counterpoint. Yet Palestrina's music is not rigid in its consistency and is always expressive. A persistent but unlikely story relates that a performance of his most famous work, the Missa Papae Marcelli, convinced the Council of Trent not to ban polyphony from the Catholic liturgy. Despite this legendary status, even classically trained musicians know few works by him beyond what they hear in surveys of music history. Our concert explores Palestrina's compositional methods, reputation, and style to reveal why for many his music continues to exemplify the soul of Rome.
