UAB Wind Symphony and Symphony Band in concert

Directed by Sean P. Murray, Ph.D., and Cara Morantz, Ed.D.

The UAB Wind Symphony is comprised of the finest wind and percussion students from inside and outside the Department of Music. The ensemble performs in the Alys Stephens Center two times each semester. The literature played by the UAB Wind Symphony reflects a great variety and high level of musicianship. The musical repertoire includes the finest wind band literature as well as significant orchestral transcriptions.

The UAB Symphony Band was formed in 2006 to accommodate the growth in the musicianship of the UAB Bands students. This group contains both music majors as well as non-music majors who simply love the act of creating music in the wind band setting. Emphasis is placed on developing outstanding tone quality, solid intonation, technical proficiency, and ensemble musicality.
