Radford University Music, Dance and Art come together in Roanoke.


The Radford University Percussion Ensemble has toured public schools and universities throughout Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina, performed for the VMEA State Conference, has been featured in both VA and NC Percussive Arts Society’s Days of Percussion, and has performed at the Kennedy Center as part of the National Symphony Orchestra’s “Drums Along The Potomac” Festival.

Radford University Percussion Ensemble performances encompass a broad spectrum of musical styles from standard works in the percussion/marimba repertoire, transcriptions, arrangements, traditional African drumming, and current releases of contemporary percussion literature.

The Ensemble has recorded a CD. The review in the December 2001 issue of Percussive Notes, their CD “By Departing Light” on the Highlander record label indicate "an excellent CD that is eclectic in content and styles, each piece is well played, and the contrasts in styles make this an interesting hour of listening".
