About the McMaster Percussion Ensemble

The McMaster Percussion Ensemble brings together a dynamic group of students from across campus sharing an interest in percussion. Our potential repertoire includes drum trios, transcriptions of well known musical works, solo features and new repertoires exploring the boundaries of the percussive arts. The ensemble is open to anyone with a background in percussion (regardless of degree program) with permission from the director. Students are strongly encouraged (but not required) to register for credit when participating.

The group typically plays two on-campus concerts each year, with occasional off-campus performances. For example, we were invited to play at the Ontario “Day of Percussion” festivals in 2019 (Toronto) and 2020 (Ottawa).
