É«É«À²

Keith Hall, Director

An extension of the jazz drum curriculum, the É«É«À² Michigan University Drum Choir performs primarily compositions arranged and composed by students. This unique group experience creates a tremendous atmosphere for the exchange of ideas, improvisation, and teamwork. Students also explore world rhythm concepts and the history of drum set vocabulary. The ensemble performs at the É«É«À² Invitational Jazz Festival, as part of jazz ensemble concerts, and for special events.

Created in 1992 by artist-in-residence Billy Hart, the É«É«À² Drum Choir gives students an opportunity to explore the tradition of the drums while incorporating contemporary concepts. Required for jazz drum set majors, the ensemble is also open to non-majors.
