Percussion ensemble

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A percussion ensemble is a musical ensemble consisting of only percussion instruments. Although the term can be used to describe any such group, it commonly refers to groups of classically-trained percussionists performing primarily classical music. Percussion ensembles are most commonly found at conservatories, though some professional groups, such as Nexus exist.
