Percussion Ensemble Repertoire

Percussion Ensemble

The Furman University Percussion Ensemble is made up of both music major percussionists and non-percussionists, as well as non-music majors. Rehearsing for an hour and a half once a week during the winter and spring terms, the percussion ensemble presents several performances during the course of the year, culminating in a concert on campus at the end of spring term. This concert is always a popular and well-attended event. Membership in this ensemble is a requirement for percussionists majoring in music.

The ensemble performs a wide variety of repertoire, ranging from popular landmark pieces from the traditional percussion ensemble repertoire, orchestral and chamber repertoire, ethnic percussion repertoire, popular tunes, and new music.
