About
The Burritt Percussion Group was founded by internationally celebrated percussionist, composer, and educator Michael Burritt, whose influence has helped shape an entire generation of percussion artists around the world. Composed of former students now enjoying distinguished careers as performers, educators, soloists, and chamber musicians, the ensemble celebrates Burritt’s music and reflects his lasting artistic legacy.
Blending virtuosic performance, dynamic collaboration, and the energy of contemporary percussion, the group presents programs featuring Burritt’s original compositions alongside works that have inspired and defined today’s percussion landscape. From powerful rhythmic intensity to moments of lyricism and color, the ensemble showcases the versatility and expressive depth of percussion.
Rooted in mentorship, artistry, and a shared musical lineage, the Burritt Percussion Group brings together percussionists for performances on the concert stage, at festivals, and in educational settings. The ensemble continues Burritt’s tradition of innovation while inspiring the next generation of percussionists and audiences.
Michael Burritt is Professor of Percussion and chair of the Winds, Brass, and Percussion department at the Eastman School of Music.
