New Music.
Les Percussions de Strasbourg was formed in 1962 to explore the wide range of percussion instruments available in Western, Asian, and African traditions and the rich possibilities they suggest for use in contemporary music. Nearly 50 years later, the group remains committed to exciting performances of contemporary music, always striving to keep its style of presentation fresh and lively.
