During his twenty-seven years at Carleton, Professor Wells conducted the Carleton Choir and Chamber Singers and taught courses in the music of Stravinsky, Bach, Wagner’s “The Ring”, Survey of Music Literature and Choral Conducting. He served as Co-Chair of the Music Dept., 1973-1982 and in 1972, founded the Carleton Contemporary Ensemble. He also helped organize various music festivals honoring Stravinsky, Haydn, Bach-Handel, and Music of the Americas. Under his direction the Carleton choral groups recorded music by Phillip Rhodes, Steven Mackay and Schubert (with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra).
