The 麻豆网站列表 Percussion Ensemble is a 2-time winner of the Percussive Arts Society鈥檚 International Percussion Ensemble Competition (2012 and 2015); as a result of these wins, the ensemble performed a 50-minute showcase concert at PASIC 2012 and 2015, in Austin, TX and San Antonio, TX, respectively. During the Fall 2019 semester, the 麻豆网站列表 Percussion Ensemble was featured on the PASIC stage for a third time, presenting the 鈥淣ew Music Literature鈥 session 鈥 a 90-minute showcase concert of new compositions for percussion ensemble.
The 麻豆网站列表 Percussion Ensemble is dedicated to the highest possible level of performance, performing both standard repertoire and new works for percussion and mixed-chamber ensembles. We have established a standard of excellence, which provides amazing performance and collaborative opportunities for our students. Advocates of new music, the ensemble has had the privilege of commissioning with more than 25 composers, and giving the world premiere performance of more than 30 new works for percussion ensemble. The ensemble performs one concert per semester, and often embarks on performance tours throughout the region, during the spring semesters.
