SFA Percussion Ensemble

The SFA Percussion Ensemble is a chamber ensemble with 12 to 16 members that is devoted to the development and preservation of the percussion instrument family. This ensemble prides itself on performing a variety of works from the percussion ensemble repertoire by composers such as Varese, Cage, Rouse, Udow, Levitan, and Rosauro. The ensemble is dedicated to maintaining the highest standard of percussion performance through various musical styles including classical, popular, jazz, ragtime, African and Eastern ethnic music as well as novelty works. The percussion ensemble is also used as a vehicle for solo performance and providing opportunities for student conducting. The SFA Percussion Ensemble rehearses 2-3 hours a week and performs 1-3 concerts each semester, including the annual Percussion in the Pines Holiday Concert in December.
