The University of Delaware Graduate Percussion Spring Concert will feature a wide range of musical tastes. We will perform two premiered works, one of which being a brand new 2026 commission. The program will also contain both the old and new percussion standards in our repertoire. We are so excited to share an evening of captivating music with our community! The award winning Graduate Percussion Group is a fully funded fellowship program. Each member is awarded a fellowship for their studies at UD by co-directing and performing in this ensemble. Coached and mentored by the faculty ensemble in residence (Quey Percussion Duo), the Graduate Percussion Group is actively engaged in artistic creativity on a daily basis through rehearsing, performing, and administration of a self-sustaining ensemble that straddles the line between collegiate and professional performing experiences. The Graduate Percussion Group presents regular programs throughout the year in addition to numerous projects related to audio recording, video production, outreach, recruiting, competitions, and composer-performer experiences. Graduate Percussion Group members also often perform side-by-side with guest and faculty artists. In addition to performances, as a self-sustaining ensemble, each student will assume administrative roles to guarantee the success of the ensemble such as scheduling, programming, recruiting, outreach, marketing and promotion, and social media management to name a few.

The UD Percussion Ensemble presents a “duos” concert each spring semester called "In Tandem." Modeled after the faculty ensemble in residence (Quey Percussion Duo), percussion ensemble members pair up to choose their own repertoire, rehearse, receive coaching sessions from the faculty ensemble, and perform their work in this collage concert of varied and exciting music for two.
