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.
