The JHU Wind Ensemble
The Wind Ensemble, the largest student instrumental ensemble on campus, is a relaxed yet dedicated group of individuals who enjoy reducing the stress of Hopkins while playing music. Directed by Jari Villanueva, the full Wind Ensemble rehearses twice weekly in the SDS Room in the Mattin Center, 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm on Wednesdays, and 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm on Sundays. We give one concert in the fall, usually in late November, and one in the spring, usually mid April, both in Shriver Auditorium. We welcome players of varying playing abilities, so our repertoire varies as well. There are no auditions to be a member of the Wind Ensemble, and though it is an extracurricular activity, we do have an attendance policy to keep the ensemble at a high performing quality.
