Wolfgang Orchestra and Chorus

2008 Concert at Old North UMC
wolfgang_summer_2008_in_concert.jpg

The Wolfgang Classical Wind Ensemble was organized in the summer of 2006 and in September 2008 the Wolfgang Singers were added to the ensemble.  With the addition of 6 violinists, 2 violas, 4 cellos and one double bass over the last 3 seasons, the Director is now actively recruiting string players and vocalists (as well as wind players) to expand Wolfgang into a full Orchestra with Chorus.  The express purpose of Wolfgang Orchestra and Chorus is to rehearse and perform in a group of equally talented adults and students.
 
You are invited to join us for the Winter/Spring Season, with rehearsals at Hedges Central in Mt. Vernon, beginning January 20, 2012.  Wolfgang plays challenging classical music, but allows ample rehearsal time for new players to regain their skills.  Adult players are expected to have a minimum of 6 years playing experience, and student players must audition and study privately. Vocalists are required to have a good voice and be able to read music.  Membership acceptance is contingent upon instrumentation and vocal needs as  determined by the conductor.  Musicians interested in performing with Wolfgang should contact the directors, Dennis Noon or Nancy Noon.

As your conductor, it is my hope to bring to you the finest and most challenging music from the master composers. I believe and expect that every member can, and will, rise to the level of performance of which we all may be proud. The Conductor's mission is to constantly advance the individual player's skills and the ensemble's performance capability. I will challenge you to be a professional player, regardless of your age. There are great composers that need to be heard through their music, and heard most intimately in the PLAYING of their music. We will sit side by side with P. I. Tchaikowsky, Rogers & Hammerstein, John Williams, G. Verdi, A.L. Webber, Guilmant and Dvorak.  We will get to know them well.

Musically,

Dennis A. Noon

Wolfgang is self-supporting with seasonal dues and donations. The dues for the Winter/Spring Season are $50 per instrumentalist and $25 per vocalist. Dues are used to cover expenses for rent of rehearsal hall, music, equipment, programs, pictures, concert CDs, postage and other incidental expenses of the group.

Dues also express a commitment on the part of the musicians to rehearse regularly and to perform, missing no more than two rehearsals per season. Dress rehearsal and concerts are required for participation in Wolfgang.

 
Instrumentalists need to provide their own music stand and all musicians need to provide their own basic black concert attire. Rehearsals are held from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. in Hedges Central (Entrance 16), Corner of 7th and Canal, Mt. Vernon, IN.
