Symphonic Wind Ensemble

Emily Threinen, director

The Symphonic Wind Ensemble at Shenandoah Conservatory has been in existence since 1970. Identified in previous decades as a concert band, the ensemble has a long history under the direction of several distinguished conductors. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble is open to all music majors by audition. Students are exposed to a diverse repertoire from transcriptions to the works of contemporary composers. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble performs in both fall and spring semesters.

The Shenandoah Symphonic Wind Ensemble is assisted by Kappa Kappa Psi, an honorary fraternity open to men and women enrolled in band and wind ensembles.

The ensemble has performed at the Virginia Music Educators Association Conference several times and has been on several tours including Charlottesville, VA, New York City, New Jersey, Virginia Beach, Williams, VA, Georgia and Florida.
