If you have seen our events page, you will probably see that currently we don't have a lot of events. Right now we are dedicating our time to academic schoolwork, becoming better percussionists, and building our repertoire.
If you are an extremely skilled composer of contemporary percussion, and are interested in having us play one of your pieces, please send an email to [email protected].
Please include the following in your email:
I can't believe you read until here. You must be really interested in submitting a piece to us! Well, get composing! We hope to hear from you sooner or later (but hopefully sooner - no pressure)! - Elisha Jimenez, Founder of Percussion World
*Please note that if you don't give us permission to write our own program notes, you simply have to write it in your email, and we won't write any. Don't be afraid. We don't bite.

Please include the following in your email:
- A video via an unlisted YouTube link or Vimeo that includes an excerpt (under 1 minute) of one of your original contemporary compositions. Try to choose one which shows all of your composition skills. As a composer, feel free to include improvisation, phasing, and graphic notation (as long as the score is clear).
- The score of the piece which you are submitting for us to play. Here are the instruments you can use (one 4.3 octave marimba - if you have two parts, they must be playable on one marimba, Latin percussion (congas will be played using bongos), and any other percussion instrument. (Please NO pieces for Window Smashing!)
- If we play the piece, we will include program notes about the piece on our website. If you have your own program notes, please submit them in this email! If not, please recognize that sending this email without program notes*, gives us permission to write our own. Please let us know some facts about you as a composer, and some facts and/or interesting things about the piece.
