New performance layout for Chamber Winds Ensemble

The first Chamber Winds Ensemble concert of the season was held on Oct. 23 in the Brandt Black Box theatre and featured a more intimate experience than most band concerts by featuring groups of 3-6 players instead of the customary full orchestra on a single stage.

“It’s generally one to a part and they’re very exposed,” Teacher and Director of Bands Evan Rogovin said. “They have to do well in their performances, because they can’t hide like they can in a larger orchestra.”

Students embraced the freedom that performing in small groups allowed.

“I like it because it gives us the ability to be independent and explore musical outlets on our own without the parameters of a large ensemble.” band junior Triton Payne said.

While in the past, the show had also featured percussion instruments, this year the show only featured brass and wind instruments playing arrangements of “Sea Foam from The Sea” by John Gibson and “If Thou Be Near” by J.S. Bach.

About the Contributor
Mary Rasura, Features Editor
Communications junior Mary Rasura has had a love of journalism ever since her parents made it a point to watch the 5 PM. news. She is the Features Editor and feels the section will be a great fit for her. She believes Dreyfoos wouldn't be what it was without the arts, and is excited to report on this vital part of the school’s ecology. Rasura enjoys creative writing as well, and finds truth and fiction to be equally compelling narratives. In her free time, she loves political satire and likes to watch the Daily Show and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. She loves having flowers in her room and believes they brighten up any work space. She is an active member of the Women’s Empowerment Club and plans on joining the Speech and Debate team, as she has discovered a love of speech in the past year and wishes to improve her rhetoric. In the future, Mary wishes to work at a news magazine and would love to review theater shows.
