Hailed by the New York Times as "...finely polished...a fresh source of energy" and by Time Out New York as "forward-thinking," Mantra Percussion is committed to substantially expanding the future of percussion repertoire by commissioning and performing new, significant works for large percussion ensemble by both prominent and emerging composers.  Formed in 2007, Mantra Percussion has been featured at festivals and music series’ throughout the country including Moving Sounds Festival, Ear Heart Music Festival, F(x) Miami Marathon, Hi Fi Music Festival, Music on MacDougal Series, and Make Music New York. The group has performed in some of the leading contemporary music spaces in New York City including Le Possioun Rouge, The Tank, Tenri Cultural Institute, and at the Apple Store in Lincoln Center. Mantra's 2010 collaboration with the Dither Guitar Quartet yielded three new works for combined electric guitar quartet and percussion quartet with music written by Philip Schuessler, Daniel Wohl, and Eric Km Clark.
