Excelsis Percussion Quartet

New York City-based Excelsis Percussion Quartet is an international and multilingual group of women who speak the universal language of rhythm, rooted in their belief that music possesses an ability to unite us all. They’ve been hailed by timpanist Jonathan Haas as “one of the most innovative and exciting percussion ensembles to emerge in the golden age of chamber music” for their immersive sound world. Excelsis infuses vibrancy and new energy into the percussion community through eclectic programming, innovative storytelling, and embracing their intersectional identities.
