Texas Tech University Percussion Studio

The TTU Percussion Studio had a wonderful weekend (2-7 & 2-8-26) of percussion performances. Jacob Cauley returned as a 2025 Winner of the TTU Concerto Competition and played Sejourne's Concerto for Marimba & Strings masterfully! Bravo to Jacob and the TTU String Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Lanfranco Marcelletti! Then, on Sunday, the Holmes Duo featuring our own TTU Assistant Professor of Percussion Studies Dr. Benjamin Holmes and his brother TTU Percussion Alum Cody Holmes treated us to a fabulous concert of their compositions for keyboard percussion as they leave for a short tour this week.

It's a wrap!! The fall 2025 semester in the Texas Tech Percussion Studio has ended. Congratulations to our recent fall 2025 graduates: Natalie Nance, Jacob Masters, and Noah Ivie! We are so proud of you. Also, the end of the semester included studio group projects adjudicated by our very own Director of the TTU School of Music Dr. Andrew Stetson and Executive Director of Fine Arts for the Lubbock Independent School District César De León. Our final studio class performance featured Percussion Ensemble 2 bringing the holiday spirit to all and our annual studio party this time was hosted at Alamo Drafthouse with a viewing of Elf! Happy Holidays to all from the Texas Tech Percussion Studio, Dr. Lisa Rogers, and Dr. Benjamin Holmes! 🎄☃️
