The Percussion Collective
At the pinnacle of his legendary career, performer and pedagogue Robert van Sice has assembled a stunning collection of young artists who are reinventing the concert experience.
The Percussion Collective transcends the medium of percussion through uncommon performance experiences that surprise and engage audiences at a profound emotional level. The hallmarks of van Sice’s musical approach—precise execution, sonic refinement, and dynamic onstage communication—are all on display in the most vivid manner to date.
Drawing from an incomparably rich bouquet of talent, The Percussion Collective includes some of the world’s most esteemed and dynamic young voices in the art form.
“They brought the audience a level of artistry, beauty and insight more commonly found in great string quartets. The group’s performance of the exquisite Seaborne, has taken chamber percussion to a completely new level.”
Beijing Morning Post
“The four percussionists worked together so seamlessly that they almost seemed to share kind of psychic connection. Hearing (and seeing) them perform was a pure joy.”
Hartford Courant
“This was truly masterful performing, and it is a lesson in getting capacity crowds to contemporary music performances.”
Theater Jones Reviews, Dallas
“Theofanidis’ music made endlessly fascinating use of their ability to play with precision, with one of them picking up a phrase from another before tossing it to the next player.”
