The Eastern 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.  Since it's inception in 2006, the Ensemble has played host to several guest artists and clinicians such as Nathan Daughtrey, Tomm Roland, and Arthur Lipner.

In addition to performing a concert at the conclusion of each semester, the Percussion Ensemble also performs at Eastern's Open House each fall and the Percussive Arts Society Connecticut Chapter Day of Percussion each spring.  Recently, the ensemble completed a performance tour with the Eastern Chamber Singers with outreach concerts to the surrounding communities along with concerts in Boston MA, Middlebury VT, and Schenectady NY.
