Wisconsin Wind Orchestra will open the concert with “Italian Girl in Algiers” by Gioacchino Rossini, and then Suzanne Geoffrey, instructor of oboe at Carroll, will perform the “Introduction, Theme and Variations” by Johann Nepomuk Hummel, transcribed for 10 winds from the chamber orchestra version. The group also will perform “The Casbah of Tetouan,” a solo piece for five French horns by Kerry Turner. The concert concludes with the romantic and lush “Suite in B-Flat” by Richard Strauss.

About Us

The Wisconsin Wind Orchestra was established in 1995 and became the resident professional ensemble of Carroll University in 1998. The group features some of the finest musicians in southeast Wisconsin and is recognized as one of the only ensembles of its kind in the world.
The ensemble builds on the tradition of musical excellence found in major symphony orchestras, the innovation of wind groups such as the Eastman Wind Ensemble and Netherlands Wind Ensemble, and the technical versatility of the premier military bands.
