Join us for a concert of contemporary works for percussion. Michael Compitello is a dynamic, “fast rising” (WQXR) percussionist dedicated to commissioning and premiering new works that explore the sonic and expressive possibilities of percussion instruments. His project, Unsnared Drum (New Focus Recordings, 2021) seeks to reinvent the snare drum with “superb performances.”  

With cellist Hannah Collins as the “remarkably inventive and resourceful” (Gramophone) New Morse Code, Michael has created a singular and personal repertoire through collaboration with some of America’s most esteemed young composers.

Michael Compitello is associate professor of percussion at Arizona State University. He holds degrees from Yale School of Music and the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University.
