Mantra Percussion Group

Mantra Percussion has started their North-East tour of Michael Gordon's new epic sextet, Timber, for planks of wood. Put that "Hits of the Rainforest" CD deep into your garbage can and spit on it! This 75-minute work will take you back to your glory days as young Mowgli in The Jungle Book.

Hailed by the New York Times as "...finely polished...a fresh source of energy," Mantra Percussion is dedicated to expanding the future of percussion, living in the present, and celebrating the past. Mantra Percussion commissions pieces by prominent composers to substantially expand the percussion repertoire, commissions young composers to breathe new life into the art, and performs classic repertoire from the past to remind us why we are here.
