NMSU Wind Symphony among few chosen to perform at Kennedy Center

New Mexico State University’s Wind Symphony has been selected to represent the southwestern region of the United States during the 2016 Sousa Band Festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., this April. The group was selected, through audio and video submissions, to be one of only four ensembles nationwide to honor the late composer John Philip Sousa at the festival. I think this invitation and performance is a great honor and privilege for our students,” said Lon Chaffin, head of the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. “They are a talented group of musicians and are working very hard. They will represent NMSU and our music department well.”
