Mission
The East Texas Chamber Winds (ETCW) is a Texas ensemble dedicated to the accurate performance of harmoniemusik. The organization’s motto, “Music for the sake of music,” coined by Artistic Director Roy McLerran, is intended to state that the craft is worth practicing for its own merits. The ETCW’s premiere concert took place in San Augustine, TX at the First United Methodist Church in the summer of 2016, conducted by Roy McLerran. Members of the ETCW are mostly current students or recent graduates of the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Music in Nacogdoches, TX.
