CU Winds Officers

Gabrielle Garra, President

Hi! My name is Gabrielle and I am serving as president of CU Winds this year. I am a junior from Long Island, NY majoring in mechanical engineering and I play the flute. I am so grateful for the opportunities that CU Winds has provided and I am excited for the many more memories to come. I have met some of the most amazing people through this ensemble. Outside of CU Winds, I am vice president of Cornell Club Swim and I am on Cornell Mars Rover. I love going on runs/hikes, surfing, and competing in Spartan Races.

Victoria Ziccardi, Vice President

Hi everyone! My name is Victoria Ziccardi, and I am the Vice President of CU Winds this year. I am a junior from Buffalo, New York, majoring in Environment & Sustainability in CALS. I play the alto saxophone and have played soprano and bari before too. CU Winds has been a great opportunity to continue making music in college, not to mention going on tour to Cuba! This ensemble is an amazing group of people, and I am excited about our future experiences. Outside of music, I enjoy hiking, gardening, and yoga.

Hey y’all my name's Camron Ray and I am hyped to serve as publicity chair! I’m a junior from Ann Arbor, Michigan studying Animal Science on the Pre-Vet track. I play primarily the bass clarinet with the auxiliary clarinets on the side. CU Winds has been a great way to defocus from academics and do something I enjoy. There’s always fun and jokes to be had and awesome music to perform! Outside of CU Winds I enjoy cooking, playing soccer and lacrosse, sleeping and petting animals (especially snakes).

Hey, I’m Ben and I’m the webmaster of CU Winds! I’m a sophomore from Long Island, NY majoring in Biological Science and Information Science. Playing clarinet and even some piano in the Wind Symphony has helped me appreciate the power of music from a new perspective while making great memories along the way! Outside of Wind Symphony, I’m in Cornell’s Big Red Marching Band and Development in Games Association, and I’m a chimesmaster as well. I also have a few cats (unfortunately only 6).

Hi, I'm Junoh Lee I'm the Treasurer for the Wind Symphony. I'm a junior flutist and I'm majoring in music with a minor in business. I'm from Westchester but have lived in 3 countries before the US. Even though this is only my third year with the Wind Symphony, I already love this group so much. I want to continue making many more memories with this group for many years to come. Outside of the Wind Symphony I'm also a part of Cornell's traditional Korean drumming group, Shimtah, where I'm able to learn some more percussive instruments, something I have never been able to do before.

Junoh Lee, Treasurer

Hi! My name is Anna and I am the social chair for CU Winds this year. I am a sophomore in the flute section from Oswego, NY majoring in Psychology and Music. Being a member of the Wind Symphony the past year has been an amazing experience and has opened so many opportunities for making music and connecting with other musicians at Cornell. I can’t wait to make more memories with everyone, and I am so excited for the great year we have ahead! Outside of Wind Symphony, I take private flute lessons, work in a lab researching behavioral economics, and enjoy running and exploring new coffee shops in downtown Ithaca!
