The Vancouver Community Wind Ensemble (VCWE) is an auditioned musical ensemble performing a repertoire of classic and contemporary music. Membership is selected for one concert season at a time. Sections are limited to preserve balance amongst the ensemble.
Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays evenings from 8:00-9:00pm at St. John Lutheran Church off of Highway 99.
Visitors and interested musicians are welcome to attend or observe.
The Wind Ensemble is under the direction of Erin Hanson. Erin is a music educator and bassoonist. She grew up in Vancouver, graduating from Skyview High School “a long, long time ago.”
Erin has a degree in K-12 Music Education from BYU and is currently working on a Masters of Music Education from Central Washington University. She currently teaches elementary music and middle school choir within the Vancouver Public Schools district. Erin has conducted the Concert Band for 9 years and counting!
Membership in the VCWE will be by invitation only and interested musicians are encouraged to first participate in our Concert Band. There will be a $50 participation fee per season for VCWE members.
