UVM Percussion Ensemble


The UVM Percussion Ensemble was founded in 1983 to introduce students to both the standard literature
and improvisational tradition of percussion instruments.


  

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 past programs.


Auditions

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 information.
