WYSO Center for Music

Join us for the first-ever Music Makers Percussion Showcase, a joyful celebration of musical progress and community connection—free and open to the public. What began in 2021 as a small hand drumming pilot program has grown into a vibrant initiative serving over 40 students across five percussion classes. This culminating concert features performances by all three Music Makers Hand Drumming classes, a Mallet Percussion Ensemble, and a full Percussion Ensemble, including three students from the original 2021 cohort.
