Percussion Ensemble
Ensemble music has continued to gain in importance, one reason being the broadened scope of studies at schools and music schools. This development can be observed in all departments. The wide range of Latin-Percussion instruments create the perfect conditions for musical interaction. The different sounds and modes of playing and the variations in the instrumentation offer a nearly infinite number of ways, with which musical interaction can occur.
