Back in 2026

The Conservatory of Music at University of the Pacific invites all levels of woodwind instrumentalists to participate in Pacific Woodwind Day designed to inspire, motivate and improve techniques for students from middle school and high school to college, and community members.

Participants will have the opportunity to perform in a full woodwind ensemble, attend tone/technique workshops and play in an open-to-the public recital.
