The UCLA Percussion Ensemble is comprised of students performing from the ever-growing volume of percussion ensemble literature. The Percussion Ensemble presents one public performance each quarter, join us for their second performance of the 2024-2025 academic year.
This event is made possible by the David and Irmgard Dobrow Fund. Classical music was a passion of the Dobrows, who established a generous endowment at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music to make programs like this possible. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2024 - 25 Dobrow Series.
