PERCUSSION PLUS PROJECT
Amy Lynn Barber, artistic director
The Percussion Plus Project is a unique contemporary chamber music ensemble, which focuses on an unusual and exciting repertoire that is little-known to general audiences. Their programs consist of works for percussion (ranging from one to many players) and another solo instrument. No other ensemble devotes itself solely to this repertoire.
The Percussion Plus Project was founded in 1993 in Prague, Czech Republic, by the American percussionist Amy Lynn Barber.
