Percussion Ensemble

Matthew Gold, Director.

The Williams Percussion Ensemble explores the nearly limitless universe of  music that can be performed on percussion instruments including masterworks of the twentieth century, experimental music, music of many of the worlds traditions, and the most up-to-date works by contemporary composers. Members of the ensemble rehearse and perform on the entire range of percussion instruments including marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, drums, timpani, cymbals, and gongs. As percussion instruments are defined only by the fact that they are played by percussionists, the ensemble also makes use of homemade and found instruments. In order to have access to the widest possible body of music, the ensemble collaborates with other performing groups in the Williams College Community. The Williams Percussion Ensemble has a regular weekly rehearsal and performs at least one major concert each semester.
