HERE for tonight's program and information!
Murray State Bands are proud to announce the creation of the Jackson Purchase Youth Wind Orchestra!
|
This exciting new ensemble brings together top high school wind and percussion students from across Western Kentucky, West Tennessee, Southern Illinois, and Eastern Missouri. Students will rehearse on Sundays at Murray State in the spring semester (beginning February 1, 2026), work with university faculty and guest artists - including our "composer-in-residence" Tyler S. Grant, and perform advanced wind literature—including the world premiere of a new piece by composer John Fannin.
