Description

Beginning section of the World Percussion Ensemble, a contemporary experimental performance based ensemble, which works toward combining instruments and musical structures from various cultures. Improvisation, composition and performance practice are integrated. Emphasis is given to percussion styles and techniques taught in CalArts' World Music and Instrumental programs. Note: this ensemble is performance based, focused on repertoire and rehearsal, and not particularly designed for technique or how to play specific world percussion instruments, but instead to augment those existing offerings and courses of study to offer a contemporary setting for percussion music making from a global perspective.
