UWM Percussion

Congratulations to Emilio De La Rosa and Ciprian Fountain on their shared junior recital this weekend! It was a fun program, and it was enjoyable to watch them present their first recital!

We had a great weekend with the 2026 MKE Percussion Festival! It started with a bang with the MKE Mass Steel Band with the amazing (with a lovely extended intermission courtesy of a tornado warning), and continued with awesome sessions with , Chris Riggs, and Julio Pabon on Saturday! Thanks to all of our guests for presenting, and to everyone who attended parts of the events!

The 2026 MKE Percussion Festival, including the MKE Mass Steel Band, is coming up next week! The mass band is on Friday 4/17 with guest artist Victor Provost, and the rest of the activities (clinics and solo and ensemble festival) are on Saturday 4/18! We hope you can join us!
