Our groups have performed over one hundred free performances since our founding.
There is more than one opportunity to participate in Energy City New Horizons Music. We currently host a variety of ensembles, and will give serious consideration to additional grouping arrangements. The first three, the Symphonic Band, the String Ensemble and the Big Band are our mainstays. Perhaps one or more of these is for you.
The Symphonic Band is our largest endeavor. We're looking for all types of players and even though we're doing well, currently having about 50 players representing about fifteen instrument types, we would love to see this group grow and diversify.
This endeavor brought us into the world of big band, blues and jazz. The debut for this group was the Fall 2010 Kick-off. Due to the specialized nature of this group, participation must be cleared by the Artistic Director.
Over the past few years a variety of smaller group ensembles have emerged. At various times you can find opportunities with a small string ensemble, a clarinet choir, a trombone quartet, a trumpet quartet, a saxophone ensemble, a wind quintet or a Traditional Jazz Ensemble. If there is interest, other groups may be started. These groups tend to be self-directed, but our Artistic Director has always provided a guiding hand when asked.
