The UW-Whitewater Percussion Ensemble is a unique and diverse ensemble that performs one full concert every semester. A crucial component in developing musical and technical skills for the contemporary percussionist, the Percussion Ensemble performs music from many different genres. The Percussion Ensemble is open to all students by audition.
The UWW Percussion Ensemble concert has become one of the most-attended events in the surrounding area by performing cutting edge percussion ensemble literature. The percussion ensemble consists of percussion majors and minors, and has recently performed such works as Nigel Westlake's Omphalo Centric Lecture, Nebojsa Zivkovic's Trio Per Uno, Graham Fitkin's Hook, John Cage's Second Construction, David Gillingham's Stained Glass, and Brett Dietz's Sharpened Stick.
The percussion ensemble is available for performances and clinics throughout the academic year. If you are interested in hosting the percussion ensemble for a concert or clinic, please contact Tobie Wilkinson at wilkinst@uww.edu
