The University of Malta Wind Ensemble, under the musical direction of Dr Philip Ciantar, is one of the initiatives of DegreePlus. It was established in 2009 to provide a high quality performing experience to wind and percussion players as well as to produce exciting and dynamic concert 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. The Ensemble has also performed in Italy.

So try something different this year. Be creative: don’t hesitate, and enrol with the University Wind Ensemble, or any other DegreePlus unit!

If you are interested in engaging in one of these initiatives, just send us an email on [email protected] and we shall be happy to help.
