The central mission of the MIT Wind Ensemble is the enhancement of the musical education and artistic sensitivity of its members through performance in large and small wind ensembles of music of diverse styles from the 16th century to the present day. A secondary mission is the creation and nurturing of new music for the wind ensemble medium. MITWE performs the finest traditional wind ensemble literature and the best of the new. Literature includes music for large wind ensemble, chamber winds, brass ensemble, percussion ensemble, and woodwind ensembles. Since 2001, the MIT Wind Ensemble has commissioned 20 original works for wind ensemble by MIT faculty, Boston, and internationally renowned composers. Gunther Schuller, John Harbison, and Michael Colgrass, all Pulitzer Prize-winning composers, among many others, have worked with MITWE. In 2004, MITWE released its first international professional recording, Waking Winds, on the American Composers Forum, Innova label. The CD is comprised of all world premiere recordings. Gramophone Magazine called the recording, “An exhilarating range of approaches to the modern wind band.” In 2008, MITWE released its second international professional recording, Solo Eclipse, on the prestigious classical music label, Albany Records. It represents the first time an MIT student ensemble has released a professional CD of all world premiere recordings of works commissioned expressly for them.
