UMBC & Salisbury Percussion Ensembles

The Department of Music presents the UMBC Percussion Ensemble and Salisbury University Percussion Ensemble under the direction of Tom Goldstein and Eric Shuster.

The UMBC Percussion Ensemble is a dedicated performing group of advanced percussion students. The ensemble is adventurous in its programming, with a repertoire that includes graphic-notation pieces, improvisational works, and theatre, as well as works by important early percussion composers, such as Alan Hovhaness, John Cage, and Carlos Chavez. The Ensemble has established a tradition of performing works by UMBC’s faculty and student composers, who sometimes include members of the ensemble.
