UTEP WIND SYMPHONY - The University of Texas at El Paso Wind Symphony is the top concert band in the music department at the University of Texas at El Paso. The Wind Symphony performs a wide variety of literature for the wind band including transcriptions, and works from the standard and contemporary wind repertoire. The ensemble frequently tours the Southwest region. The Wind Symphony has been active in the commissioning of new works for wind band and strives to deliver powerfully expressive performances. The ensemble has been invited to perform at the Texas Music Educators Association convention three times, and the College Band Directors National Association convention twice and recently accepted an invitation to perform at the American Bandmasters Association National Convention in 2019 in Colorado. Their premier recording under Bradley Genevro in Fanfare Magazine rendered the following review: The University of Texas El Paso (UTEP) Wind Symphony plays all of this repertoire with crackerjack precision and evident commitment and enthusiasm under it's new conductor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
