The University of Malta Wind Ensemble The University Wind Ensemble, under the musical direction of Dr Philip Ciantar, is one of the initiatives of DegreePlus and was set up to provide a high quality performing experience to wind players. It aims at producing exciting and dynamic concert programmes and events for a wide range of audiences. The Ensemble meets every week for rehearsals and instrumental coaching sessions. Through the Ensemble, students from all University faculties and institutes are given the opportunity to meet and experience an array of musical genres and styles, ranging from arrangements of well-known orchestral pieces to jazz and contemporary music. In addition, students are encouraged to play solo pieces and to produce their own musical compositions and arrangements. Last year, the Ensemble performed in Noto as part of the City s spring musical events. In April of this year it performed another successful concert at the Conservatorio di Musica Antonio Scontrino in Trapani. So try something different this year. Be creative: don t hesitate, and enrol with the University Ensemble, or any other DegreePlus unit! If you are interested in engaging in one of these initiatives, just send us an email on degreeplus@um.edu.mt and we shall be happy to help. 2
