2007 Zildjian Opportunity Fund Grant awarded to the Matrix Percussion Trio
In conjunction with the Percussive Arts Society, the 2007 Zildjian Opportunity Fund grant was awarded to the Matrix Percussion Trio. The national award will support presentations by the trio in the Greater Nashville area public schools. The Zildjian Opportunity Fund is a permanently endowed trust, managed and administered through the Percussive Arts Society. Its purpose is to provide funding for percussion-based interactive events directed to underserved youth, ages pre-school through high school. Utilizing outstanding percussion presenters, these events are held at schools, community centers, or other publicly accessible facilities at no charge to participants. Awards are granted based on artistic quality, content of presentation and demonstrated ability to carry out the proposal as submitted.
Matrix Percussion Trio Gives Master Classes
In February 2007 the Matrix Percussion Trio gave master classes at Belmont University and
Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music. The trio presented, “Becoming an Ensemble:
Preparing Music for Performance,” to percussion majors at both universities. The group discussed
the genesis of ensemble performance, the process of preparation, and the components of the
preparation process. They performed numerous excerpts from their repertoire in illustration as part
of the hour long master class presentations.
