A wind symphony provides all voices from a traditional orchestra using only wind and percussion instruments. That is, there are no string sections: violins, violas, and cellos. This is done by adding many more brass and woodwind players and percussionists playing both pitched and rhythm instruments. The sound of a wind symphony is unique. Some feel it has the characteristic sound of a large and powerful pipe organ. Yet the music is an artistically combined sound. Individual musicians intone their own separate \"pipes\" and percussionists create sounds striking a wide variety of instruments. This carefully blended interpretation breathes life into the composer\'s work, which in turn communicates in a way that only fine music can. Enjoy UVU’s Wind Symphony tonight for a unique classical music experience.
