The UW Wind Ensemble (School of Music) will tour the north-central region of Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota the first week of March.
Professor Scott Teeple, conductor of the Wind Ensemble, said the purpose is to carry out the Wisconsin Idea, "investing in and strengthening the relationship the School of Music has with some of the many outstanding music programs in Wisconsin and Minnesota."
The tour will also give music students an experience which replicates the expectations placed on professional musicians.
As part of the trip, UW students and Professor Mark Hetzler (Trombone) will perform and interact with high school students while performing concerts and workshops with over 1,500 high school students and community members.
The repertoire programmed might be new to educators and some young musicians.
The Wind Ensemble is extremely excited about the opportunity to perform for new audiences who have not had contact with the UW-Madison School of Music.
