The Eastern Connecticut State University Percussion Ensemble encompasses a broad spectrum of musical styles from original and transcribed works in the percussion and marimba ensemble repertoire to traditional West African hand drumming.  Each semester, the ensemble performs as part of the Eastern Percussion Expo, a concert showcase of ensemble and solo percussion performances.  Enrollment is open to Eastern faculty, staff, and students, and members of the surrounding communities.
