About this Event
Event description:

Join us for a special reunion and performance celebrating the tradition of excellence in percussion here at Laurier. This concert will feature the inaugural Laurier Alumni Percussion Ensemble alongside the current Percussion Ensemble and special guests from the Toronto Percussion Ensemble. An afternoon of percussion ensembles you won’t want to miss!

About the Ensemble:

Brennan Connolly, Director

Re-established in 2014, the Wilfrid Laurier University Percussion Ensemble is comprised of percussion majors and is an integral part of the studio class curriculum. The ensemble performs programs of large, contemporary works for percussion balanced with diverse and unique repertoire that pushes the boundaries of the genre, including global music and improvisation. The ensemble places an emphasis on creating a close-knit community by building relationships and creating memorable experiences, all within a framework of outstanding musical performance. Furthermore, at the heart of the ensemble is a commitment to musical collaboration both on and off Laurier's campus. Past examples of this include the ensemble appearing as guest artists with the KW Symphony, Guelph Symphony Orchestra, as a part of R. Murray Schafer's outdoor opera Spirit Garden and the Age of Majority Singers.
