THE CSUN CONCERT BANDS
The band program at CSUN is dedicated to the promotion of concert band music by performing the finest of literature and bringing this music to the peoples of California. Each year the CSUN concert bands perform throughout southern California, presenting concerts of the finest of band music at diverse venues — public schools, state historic parks, cultural landmarks, resort destinations, and residential communities. Through generous support provided by the CSUN Associated Students, the Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony embark on unique concert series each year “Band on the Run” concerts are free outreach
performances designed specifically for presentation to the public throughout the greater Los Angeles region; other outreach concerts include performances designed specifically to bring live music to those who otherwise have limited experiences with band music.
The CSUN Wind Ensemble & Wind Symphony have long been hallmarks of the excellence associated with the university’s renowned music department.
Lawrence Stoffel is Director of Bands at California State University, Northridge. Under his leadership the CSUN Wind Ensemble & Wind Symphony are active and visible throughout the state and nationally providing CSUN students with extraordinary performance opportunities. In recent years the CSUN Wind Ensemble’s touring has taken students from Orchestra Hall in Chicago, to the historic Scott Auditorium in Honolulu, to one of California’s state prisons. Known for his enthusiasm at rehearsals, concerts, and clinics alike, Dr. Stoffel has most recently conducted all-state bands in Virginia, Texas, and California. He is published and lectures on topics pertinent to the profession — from musical interpretation to band transcriptions, from the use of religious music in the public schools to teaching in urban schools, from copyright law to band discography. He has presented and conducted at The Midwest Clinic on six occasions. For more than a decade he has written and produced annual “Discovery: Music!” concerts — innovative, interactive band concerts that have received international attention. In 2018 Dr. Stoffel
received the Hall of Fame Award from the California Music Education Association, and in 2019 was elected membership into the American Bandmasters Association. In 2022 he received the NAfME/Music for All “George N. Parks Leadership in Music Education” Award.
