To get you into the holiday spirit this week, Wind Ensemble is bringing you our final concert of the fall semester ❄️🧣
We have the fun occurrence of having siblings in our department this year! Sisters Elaine and Allyson Wolochuck are involved in Jazz Orchestra and Wind Ensemble, and State Chorale and Ladies in Red, respectively. Coming from over seven hours away, the sisters have both grown up with a love for music that has only continued to flourish in their time here at NC State.
To read more about the sisters’ stories as they gear up for their performances, you can visit the link in our bio.
