Considered among the very finest collegiate band programs in the United States, the UNCG Bands are dedicated to the performance, study, and cultivation of wind band music of the highest quality. The UNCG Wind Ensemble’s latest recording project, The Centennial Collection, is a celebration of the UNCG School of Music’s centennial (1921–2021). With 117 tracks totaling over 11 hours of music, this new collection includes digital re-releases from the UNCG Wind Ensemble’s nineteen recording projects between 1995 and 2015 as well as several recent recording projects that were previously unavailable.
“Premieres,” volume 2 of The Centennial Collection, features twelve pieces that were commissioned and premiered by the UNCG Wind Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra, and Casella Sinfonietta. In addition to re-releases, this volume also includes two recent recording projects with soprano Lindsay Kesselman: John Mackey’s "Songs from the End of the World" and DJ Sparr’s "Ella Que Llora." Written to honor John Locke’s retirement after thirty-six years as the UNCG director of bands, volume 2 also features Jack Stamp’s "No Brief Candle" with Teri Bickham, soprano.
