The UT Martin Percussion Studio recently completed a concert tour in Mexico. The 16 percussion majors served as guest artists in the PercuSonidos International Percussion Festival along with Dr. Julie Hill, director. Activities included a showcase concert, percussion pedagogue clinic and a “hands-on” marching percussion clinic in which the students from UAT (Universidad Autonoma de Tamaulipas) participated. Additional guest artists from the U.S., Argentina and Mexico were in attendance and performed with UT Martin on the closing selection (Rudi’s Batuque) of their program. After the conclusion of the festival events, percussionists from both universities performed in an international “jam” for the community. The UT Martin students also visited the Tajin Pyramids in the state of Veracruz. The tour was funded by private gifts from John Sorey and the UT Alliance of Women Philanthropists.
