The Iowa State University Wind Ensemble features sixty of the finest student wind and percussion players on the Iowa State University campus. Its repertory includes challenging music from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries, from smaller chamber groups to the full ensemble. The Wind Ensemble regularly commissions new works and often features renowned guest conductors, composers, and soloists including Simon Estes, Timothy Reynish, John Corigliano, the Boston Brass, Frank Ticheli, Ray Cramer, the Dallas Brass, Lance LaDuke, John Philip Sousa IV, Johann de Meij, Julie Giroux, Leigh Howard Stevens, and Patrick Sheridan.

Under the direction of Michael Golemo since 1999, the Wind Ensemble has performed in Minneapolis’ Orchestra Hall, Chicago’s Orchestra Hall and Omaha’s Holland Center for the Performing Arts. They have performed for the Iowa Bandmasters Association convention five times, most recently in 2017. This is the eighth trip to Europe by the Wind Ensemble since 2003. In 2016 they performed for the College Band Directors National Association and National Band Association regional convention which was hosted at Iowa State.



Performing alongside the ISU Wind Ensemble is The Resident Alien Big Band!

Resurrecting the sounds of former days, The Resident Alien Big Band is Munich’s most diverse musical ensemble. Today, musicians with over fourteen nationalities contribute their distinct backgrounds to reinterpret classics ranging from Count Basie to Bruno Mars, Frank Sinatra to Adele. The result is a unique blend of inspired bass lines, funky horns, tight guitar riffs, and infectiously charismatic vocals.

Schaufel & Besen Records und Paula Paul Platten kehren zusammen, denn sie haben was gemeinsam. Die Leidenschaft beider DIY-Labels gilt der Subkultur ihrer Heimatstädte, ihren Bands und der Szene, die sie vernetzen. 

 Schaufel & Besen fegt in München den Hochglanz von der Stadt. Und im Augsburger Presswerk Duophonic stehen zwei Vinylpressen, die Paul und Paula getauft wurden und die besondere Acts ihrer Stadt auf Recyclingvinyl verewigen.  

Höchste Zeit für einen Austausch! Let‘s party together über die Stadtgrenzen hinweg.
