The Yorkshire Wind Orchestra is a quality wind ensemble made up of players from throughout the Yorkshire region. The Yorkshire Wind Orchestra was formed as a direct result of the celebration of the Centenary of the Leeds City Charter in 1993, after a concert in Leeds Town Hall in which some 250 local wind players took part. From the efforts of Frank Renton and Gerry White, a large wind ensemble of woodwind, brass and percussionists, performing to the highest possible standards, was started. Since their inception, the YWO have performed an extensive repertoire of mainly modern works in Yorkshire and beyond and is now recognised as a leader in its musical field. Many of the YWO players are professionally engaged in music; some primarily as performers, others as instrumental teachers in Yorkshire. Students and dedicated amateurs are also valued performers who make the Yorkshire Wind Orchestra a truly regional ensemble. January 2007 saw the re-launch of The Yorkshire Wind Orchestra, under a new management team. The ensemble is now organised by Muoso with the help of their innovative band management system. The YWO is a registered charity and is always actively seeking local sponsorship and support. Two important aspects of the objectives of the YWO are to promote the work of contemporary composers (especially British) and to encourage the development of young wind and percussion players in the Yorkshire region. Musical Director and Conductor, Keiron Anderson, joined the group in 1995 and his programme of development has been a major contribution to the current level of excellence and the way in which the YWO perform today. ==References== *(Yorkshire Wind Orchestra ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yorkshire Wind Orchestra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
