ENSEMBLES

Concert Band

The Concert Band is a select group of 50 to 60 instrumentalists who perform wind and percussion masterworks and premiere new compositions and arrangements. The ensemble has gained a reputation for performances that are extremely expressive and beautiful, as well as technically sound.

Bradley Miedema, director of instrumental music, conducts the Concert Band, as well as the Campus-Community Band. Dordt's wind ensemble program also includes the Jazz Band and smaller chamber ensembles.

Recent repertoire includes:

The band tours extensively throughout the United States and Canada and performed in Hungary and Romania during the summer of 2006.

Anyone interested in visiting a rehearsal of the Dordt College Concert Band can come to the instrumental room Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 5 to 6:05 p.m. Prospective students are encouraged to apply for scholarships and to submit an audition form. More information can also be found in the syllabus or in Dordt's catalog.
