Louisiana State University’s premier percussion ensemble, Hamiruge – the LSU Percussion Group, aims to perform works on the forefront of contemporary music. This group commissions original works each academic year and shares videos across social media to encourage repeat performances by other ensembles across the country. Hamiruge is made of students from the LSU Percussion Studio, including roughly 5 graduates and 20 undergraduates, some of which performed in the PASIC 2024 Chamber Music Competition. We pride ourselves on our particularly strong undergraduate class with solid fundamentals and positive attitudes. Every year at PASIC, the New Percussion Literature Showcase offers the latest repertoire available to high school and collegiate musicians. If selected, our concert will aim to highlight a variety of literature written for a wide range of compositional and instrumental styles over the last five years. As the director, my ambition for this 90-minute session is to present 10 to 15 works representative of multiple publishers of quality percussion music. The performance will present a wide variety of styles, instrumentations, and ability levels, as well as underrepresented composers in our field. We will also incorporate videos of new percussion ensemble music while navigating equipment moves between the program’s live performances, which will allow our audience to experience more music in the allotted time. As LSU’s Percussion Professor, I believe we have the skilled performers that would excel in the New Percussion Literature Showcase. It would be an honor and a pleasure for Hamiruge to work with the PAS Percussion Ensemble Committee to provide our members with the best possible concert for PASIC 2025.
