Come see me perform Escapades by John Williams at the 2026 FMEA conference!

A flagship performing ensemble at Florida Atlantic University, the Wind Ensemble includes 50 of the finest student musicians at the university working with their conductor, Kyle Prescott. Celebrated for its performances of both masterworks of the literature and groundbreaking works by contemporary composers, they have received three separate invitations to perform at prestigious Southern Division Conferences of the College Band Director’s National Association (CBDNA) in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Georgia. The Wind Ensemble has collaborated with renowned visiting composers including John Mackey, Bruce Broughton, Michele Fernandez, James Syler, and Scott McAllister, providing them with valuable opportunities for artistic growth. Beyond their artistic achievements, Wind Ensemble musicians actively engage with the community, hosting the largest concert band festival in the state and teaching for FAU’s summer band camps benefiting under-resourced elementary school students.
