LIU POST WIND BAND PROGRAM
With over sixty years of history, the Band Program at LIU Post provides university students with outstanding performance and educational opportunities, featuring on-campus performances at Tilles Center for The Performing Arts, and off-campus performances at local venues, as well as regional, state and national conferences.

In the last twenty-three years they have produced 29 CD/DVD recordings, sponsored fifteen regional band festivals, hosted multiple performance workshops, commissioned and premiered seven original works for concert band, and have been chosen to perform in two state music conferences. Annual Band Festivals have included week-long residencies with composers such as Jack Stamp, David Gillingham, Mark Camphouse, Frank Ticheli, Timothy Mahr, Roger Cichy, Philip Sparke, Julie Giroux, Martin Ellerby, Rossano Galante, Johan de Meij and Andrew Boysen, Jr. They have toured internationally, and performed to standing ovations in Puerto Rico (2015), China (2012), and Central Europe (2009) and Australia (2018). This summer’s performance tour will take them to Austria for four performance in Vienna and Schladming.
