The UVA Trumpet Ensemble, directed by Mr. Chenguang “Edmond” Wang, is open to students of all majors and playing levels. No audition is required to join, but space in the ensemble is limited and early communication is encouraged.

 

The ensemble meets weekly for coaching sessions focused on developing ensemble skills, tone quality, and musical expression. Typical performances include end-of-semester concerts, university events, and potential outreach opportunities. Repertoire will be selected to match the interests and strengths of the group.

 

Additionally, students in the ensemble may have the opportunity to work together toward participation in national-level trumpet ensemble competitions, representing UVA on a broader stage. Rehearsals for these events will focus on advanced repertoire, musical collaboration, and performance excellence.
