Thomas C. Duffy, Music Director

Certainly the musical (and for many the spiritual) center of the Yale woodwind-and-brass world, the Yale Concert Band is known for its performances of unusual music in a variety of settings. Composed of 60 to 65 brass, woodwind, and percussion players, the Concert Band has collaborated with such famous guest artists as Benny Goodman, Eubie Blake, Peter Schickele, Max Roach, and with composers Karel Husa, Dana Wilson, David Diamond, Jonathan Berger, Steven Stucky, and Byron Adams, and has played behind narration by Walter Cronkite. Talented undergraduates who have written for the group include Charles Ives 1898, Stanley Friedman 1905, and Cole Porter 1913.
