The Wolfgang Classical Wind Ensemble was organized in the summer of 2006 for the advanced students of Mr. Noon. In September 2008 the Wolfgang Singers were added to the ensemble.  Wolfgang Ensemble and Singers continue now for the express purpose of rehearsing and performing in a group of equally talented adults and advanced students.  You are invited to join us.

Area adult and youth instrumentalists looking for an opportunity to play challenging classical music are invited to participate in this organization. Adult players are expected to have a minimum of 6 years playing experience, and youth 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, please contact the director. 

The Fall/Christmas Season begins Friday, Oct. 1, 2010 with rehearsals every Friday with concluding concerts in December.  Rehearsals are held from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. in Wesley Hall, First United Methodist Church, 601 Main Street, Mount Vernon, Indiana.

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 C. Saint-Saens, P. I. Tchaikowsky and J.P. Sousa as well as 20th master composers V. Giannini and Leroy Anderson.  We will get to know them well.

Musically,

Dennis A. Noon

Wolfgang is a self-supporting ensemble with seasonal dues. The dues for the Fall/Christmas 2010 season are $50 per instrumentalist and $25 per singer. Dues are to cover expenses for 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. Musicians must attend dress rehearsal to perform in concerts.

In addition to his/her instrument, each person will need to provide their own music stand and basic black concert attire.
