Hamiruge – The LSU Percussion Group performed at the 2009 Percussive Arts Society International Convention in Indianapolis. Under the direction of Dr. Brett Dietz, the group performed a ninety-minute program that featured new works for percussion ensemble. Many of compositions were actually written for and dedicated to Hamiruge. The concert featured composers such as David Stock, Alan Chan, Stanley Leonard, Michael Burritt, Anders Åstrand, Andrew Beall, Stuart Saunders Smith, Jude Traxler, Eric Moe, Christopher Deane, Blake Tyson, Daniel Adams, and Brett Dietz. Michael Burritt, Professor of Percussion at the Eastman School of Music said, “I thought the ensemble sounded terrific and the choice of repertoire was outstanding. Great mix of styles and instrumentations. It was a tremendously successful concert and one of the best I have heard in the new literature slot. Under your direction, LSU is becoming an established leader in the percussion community Dr. Dietz. I know there are many more great things to come from Baton Rouge.
