The
Ohlone Wind Orchestra (OWO), "California's
Premier Windband," is one of the leading
professional quality wind bands in the United
States today. Under the direction of Tony
Clements, the band is comprised of 50
woodwind, brass and percussion players. The band
performs an eclectic blend of musical styles ranging
from Bach to Bernstein and Sousa to Strauss. They
combine the tradition of the British brass band
with the musical heritage of the American town
band and the pioneering spirit of the 20th century
wind ensemble.
The
Ohlone Wind Orchestra makes its home in one of the
West's greatest college concert halls, the Smith
Center for the Performing Arts, where it performs
an annual concert series. The orchestra has three
highly acclaimed CD's on the Johnson Digital Audio
label.
