It has been in existence for a little over a decade, the ensemble goes through an intensive practice during the summer, and then does a Carnegie Hall performance and an international tour. For the current year the conductor will be Marin Alsop. Tonight's orchestra consisted of about 100 of the alumni.

Winds of Change: a survey of Ruth Gipps' wind chamber music from 1943 through to 1995

Seascape from 1958 was written for the Portia Ensemble, an all-female wind ensemble that Gipps founded (one of a number of performing ensembles that she created).
