The Philidor Percussion Group, is named after 17th century kettledrummers Jacque and Andre Philidor. The ensemble, dictated by the needs of the music and availability of the performers, is comprised of North Carolina musicians: John R. Beck, Rob Falvo, Wiley Sykes, John Hanks, and Texas residents Christopher Deane and Mark Ford. Active since 1991, this talented ensemble is known for its combination of exciting music, virtuostic musicians, and theatrical sensibilities. The Philidor Percussion Group, while drawing on traditions and cultures from around the world, is primarily a chamber music group that performs composed music written for percussion instruments.
