USA student percussionist Trevor Perez successfully completed his Senior Percussion
Recital on Monday, May 4, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. in the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center
Recital Hall. Music including works of Cage, Carter, Xenakis and Bach were played

the USA Wind Ensemble, USA Symphony Band and several iterations of the USA Percussion
Ensemble.

Bachelor of Music with Concentration in Performance – Instrumental. Perez is a student
of Luis Rivera.
