Percussion Ensemble
is open to students of all majors at UVM regardless of their
experience with percussion instruments. Emphasis is placed on the
art of ensemble playing: listening and responding to ideas of
balance, accompaniment, etc. The ensemble presents one concerts
each semester, and occasionally performs off-campus at public
schools, colleges, and professional meetings. The repertoire is
chosen from the standard literature, world music, and
improvisational percussion music - click here for

In lieu of a
placement audition, students may submit this Percussion Experience
Form. One of the goals of the group is to have each
student play parts that challenge but don't overwhelm them, so if
you would rather you can do a more formal placement audition: Percussion Ensemble audition
