SJWS Seeks Percussion Players

The San Jose Wind Symphony is currently holding open auditions at Obi Studios in San Jose. We are especially interested in accomplished percussionists who can play a variety of percussion instruments.

SJWS is a “by audition” group that performs approximately 6–9 concerts per 10-month season. Rehearsals are on Tuesday night in the South Bay. Musicians playing with the SJWS enjoy a wide variety of challenging music for Wind Symphony and perform with world-renowned soloists like Jim Walker, Marty Erickson, Joe Alessi and Dale Clevenger.

For more information, please contact SJWS executive director Jan Turnage at (408) 927-7597 or turnage@sjws.org for more information.

Watch SJWS at the Midwest Clinic

One of the highlights of our 2009-2010 season was our trip to the 2009 Midwest Clinic in Chicago, culminating in our performance at McCormick Place West on December 18, 2009.

The Midwest folks have been kind enough to publish these three selections from our performance:

Carnival, by Paul Basler

Hold This Boy and Listen, by Carter Pann

Centennial Fanfare-March, by Roger Nixon
