The USA Percussion Ensemble will present their Fall Concert on Monday, October 31 at 7:30 p.m. and repeat that performance on Tuesday, November 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall. The award-winning ensemble provides students with the opportunity to perform and become familiar with the ever-growing volume of contemporary percussion ensemble literature. This concert will feature solo and ensemble works for many different combinations of pitched and unpitched percussion instruments. The ensemble is directed by Dr. Luis Rivera, Director of Percussion Studies.

Highlights of past performances by the Percussion Ensemble include the Percussive Arts Society International Conference in Indianapolis and San Antonio, the Collide Music Festival at the University of Central Florida, and multiple appearances at the Alabama Day of Percussion. The USAPE presents public performances, clinic sessions, and hosts internationally renowned musicians each year.
