Thank you

The members of the UNI Wind Ensemble are grateful to your support of our 2026 Tour to Scotland. Our tour includes two shared performances, one with a the Midlothian Community Band in Edinburgh, and another with the wind band, jazz band, and pipe band at Lochaber High School in the Scottish Highlands. Our most high profile performance will be as the final ensemble to play at the Scottish Concert Band Finals in the beautiful Perth Concert Hall. On the final night of our tour we will give a full performance at the historic Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh. We thank you for your support and for helping us to provide this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to our musicians.
