Percussion Ensemble

The DePauw Percussion Ensemble is a chamber music group open to percussionists, both music majors and non-music majors, by audition. The ensemble rehearses on Tuesday and Thursdays from 11:00-12:30.  The Percussion Ensemble studies and performs contemporary music of many styles, ranging from ragtime and jazz to “classic” works, compositions inspired by various world percussion traditions, improvisations, and the newest works composed by composers from all over the world.

Playing in the Percussion Ensemble helps students learn to become effective chamber music players, and to learn contemporary playing techniques and musical styles.   In addition to a major concert on campus each semester, the Percussion Ensemble also performs in the "Percussion at Peeler" series in the Peeler Art Gallery, plays run-out concerts at area high schools, and appears at other events.
