Under the direction of Associate Professor of Music, Al Wojtera, 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.

Each year the Ensemble hosts an Annual Percussion Symposium with renowned artists and clinicians that have included NEXUS, Ed Shaughnessey, Gordon Stout, Leigh Howard Stevens, Roy Haynes, Andy Harnsberger, Jon Metzger, Jerry Tachoir, Mark Ford, Khalid Saleem, Mohamed DaCosta, Guy Gauthreaux, David Steinquest, and Michael Williams. 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 is also an active participant in the “Music in Our Schools” andthe “Artists in Residence” programs sponsored by the New River Valley Friends of the Roanoke Symphony, giving performances to thousands of public school audiences throughout the region each year since 1995. Reviews of their recently released 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".
