Description:
The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts presents the Virginia Tech Wind Ensemble performing online with a concert premiere titled "Across Campus" on YouTube on Monday, April 5, 2021.

In the Fall of 2020, ensembles across the country were forced to cancel in-person ensembles or rehearse outdoors in limited numbers due to the pandemic.

To bring this concert to you, students in the Virginia Tech Wind Ensemble recorded each part individually with audio recorders in parking garages, dorm rooms, and practice rooms; any nook and cranny that was quiet enough to record.

The audio was edited together on top of live performance video shot all over campus to show off our magnificent campus. Each piece is a new version (inspired by the pandemic) of the original piece created for flexible instrumentation. We hope you'll join the Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Assistant Professor of Music Derek Shapiro, for this concert.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
