Percussion Ensemble

The UMHB Percussion Ensemble comprises some of the finest percussion players on campus. Using the best percussion literature, the Percussion Ensemble strives to give each work an interpretation that best represents the composer’s intent. Repertoire is selected to expose the performers to a wide range of music languages as well as a variety of technical, intellectual, and aesthetic challenges, enhancing the development of the student-artist. Parts are rotated from piece to piece, giving many players solo opportunities and all performers a diversity of experiences.
