TWE's Outdoor RehearsalsWhile Covid kept us from playing together inside a rehearsal room or concert hall, it wasn't able to keep us from making music outside! Once things start to warm up in the spring, TWE will again return to outdoor music making. We will be physical distancing and wearing masks not only over our mouths while not playing, but also over our instruments' open ends while we are. While we encourage everybody to remain a safe distance away, if we're rehearsing at a park near you, there's nothing to prevent you from enjoying some fresh air and the music we put into it. Future outdoor rehearsals will be listed here once we have them planned, so check back as the thermometer rises!

A Thank You From HendryLast season, TWE established a fundraiser to help Hendry Urbano purchase a new tuba to replace the one that was confiscated from him when he fled Venezuela's political turmoil. Hendry now has his replacement tuba in hand, and wanted to express his thanks to all who made that possible...
Sheltering Sky Animation Project ©2020 Marc Russo
During our 2018-19 season, the Triangle Wind Ensemble celebrated our 20th Anniversary Season. While many groups commission compositions for such milestone anniversaries, we decided to take a different approach. We instead chose to give ourselves, and the wind band community as a whole, the present of an original Fantasia-like animation specifically created to accompany an already existing piece of wind band music. The piece we chose was John Mackey's beautiful composition, Sheltering Sky. We premiered this animation at our concert on April 13, 2019 and received a wonderful reception from our audience. We hope that this gift will help engage audiences across the globe, because the animation is now available for use by concert bands and wind ensembles worldwide, who may obtain a license to screen the animation during their own performance of Sheltering Sky.

The Triangle Wind Ensemble is an adult wind ensemble based in North Carolina's Triangle region. Many of the area's most talented wind and percussion players join together to practice and perform an exciting range of music for audiences in both formal and informal settings. Our repertoire includes transcriptions of classical orchestral music, original compositions for wind band, small ensemble pieces, popular medleys and arrangements, as well as holiday and patriotic music for special occasions. We present multiple concerts each season in locations across the Triangle, including Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill.
