Symphonic band
The Southern Connecticut State University Symphonic Band is
dedicated to providing an intellectually-stimulating, musically-challenging,
dynamic, and diverse ensemble to the students and faculty of SCSU, while
concurrently serving the musical needs of the entire Greater-New Haven
community. Repertoire is focused primarily on the staples of the wind band
idiom (often presenting works by Holst, Vaughan Williams, Ticheli, Holsinger,
and Sousa), but balances programs with selections from various time periods and
musical styles. Membership is open to all interested students at SCSU (both
undergraduate and graduate), SCSU faculty and staff, as well as to community
members who share the group's desire and dedication to learn and perform at
consistently high levels. The ensemble regularly presents public concerts at
various venues across the region, including several annual performances on the
SCSU campus. The group is frequently invited to perform at concerts and
festivals throughout the state, and welcomes the opportunity to work
collaboratively with others who share in our passion for music. Anyone who
is interested in acquiring more information about the ensemble or is interested
in joining should contact the director, Craig Hlavac, at Hlavacc2@Southernct.edu.
Rehearsals: Thursdays, 7:30pm-10pm - Engleman C112 (Garner Hall)
