Honors wind ensemble students from across Oklahoma and Texas high schools will be on the University of Oklahoma campus Thursday through Saturday to collaborate with University of Oklahoma School of Music faculty for the OU Honors Wind Ensemble Camp.
The experience culminates in a free concert 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Sharp Concert Hall in Catlett Music Center, at the corner of Boyd Street and Elm Avenue.
…The program for the concert includes Percy Fletcher's Vanity Fair Overture, Morten Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium, Kevin Walczyk's Children's Folk Song Suite, and John Philip Sousa's Pathfinder of Panama March. The wind ensemble is conducted by school of music faculty members William Wakefield and Brian Britt.
The OU Honors Wind Ensemble Camp advances wind and percussion studies for high school students, many of whom will be considering music as a collegiate major. During the three-day event students stay in University Housing while rehearsing and studying with University artist faculty to enrich their artistic skills.
