Established in the 1970s, the Stony Brook University Wind Ensemble performs contemporary and traditional wind repertoire of the highest quality, and comprises wind and percussion student musicians from across campus. Members represent undergraduate and graduate music and non-music majors who wish to make music performance an important part of their college experience. The ensemble is dedicated to broadening the musical interest of its members through the performance of artistically and historically significant core wind repertoire, with a special emphasis on new music. The Wind Ensemble made its debut at the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Annual Conference in 2024, marking the first-ever performance of a Stony Brook Music Department ensemble at the state music conference. In Spring 2025, the Wind Ensemble will performed a consortium commission premiere of new works by Dennis Llinás and award-winning composer Joel Puckett.

Wind Ensemble is a non-auditioned concert ensemble for winds and percussion (with repertoire that often includes piano, string bass, and harp), that rehearses one night per week and presents one concert per semester. 
 
Students can also participate in Varsity Band MUS 268. Taylor Peterson, Assistant Director.
