Don Wright Endowment and the Don Wright Symphonic Winds When music educator, composer, and philanthropist Don Wright endowed $1,000,000 for Music Education at the University of Victoria in 2004, a major initiative of this donation was to provide an opportunity for all university students to play in an ensemble on campus. The Don Wright University of Victoria Symphonic Winds funded from the endowment offers students at UVic a performance-oriented environment without entrance audition, where they can learn ensemble techniques, gain important community contacts, experience the value of ensemble playing in music education, and receive course credit for playing in the group. The ensemble concentrates on educational and musical achievements while providing a source of enjoyment for players and the audience. Music is selected from a variety of sources, styles, and genres, customary for a traditional symphonic wind ensemble. We are honoured to continue his legacy of music-making and educating by providing performance opportunities for musicians and presenting diverse concerts to the entire community Your contribution makes a difference! The arts have always benefited from the generosity of its patrons, and a donation to the School of Music can make all the difference to the future of our students. A scholarship of just $500 a year can change a life forever.
