Baylor Percussion Group

The Baylor Percussion Group is the Percussion Department's primary performance ensemble and annually presents concerts of the most significant percussion works of the 20th and 21st centuries. A central focus of the group is to foster relationships between composers and performers through collaborations and commissions. Each year the BPG works with some of the most innovative artists in contemporary music at the Baylor Percussion Symposium. To date, the group has worked with Pulitzer Prize winning composers Steve Reich and David Lang, as well as percussion superstars Glenn Kotche, Steven Schick, So Percussion, and Doug Perkins. The BPG has performed at the Make Music New York Festival, Fast Forward Austin, the Menil Collection, the Round Top International Festival-Institute, the Waco Cultural Arts Festival, and the Texas Music Educators Association Convention. They can be heard alongside the Meehan/ Perkins Duo on Restless, Endless, Tactless - Johanna Beyer and the Birth of American Percussion Music, released in 2010 on New World Records.
