Percussion Ensemble Concert

Founded in the fall of 1972 by Kathleen Kastner, the first concert of the Percussion Ensemble was presented in May of 1973 in Pierce Chapel, as part of the Creative Arts Festival. Since that time, more than 200 students have participated in the ensemble, including music majors, as well as many liberal arts students.

Each semester, the Percussion Ensemble presents a unique program to enthusiastic crowds. Other activities of the ensemble have included performances in chapel, tours to local schools to give concerts and clinic presentations for young percussionists.

Many opportunities are available for percussion performances including percussion ensemble, symphonic band, symphony orchestra, jazz ensemble, and jazz combo.
