SoundStruck Percussion is a contemporary group that was formed to create new chamber music works for modern percussion, and to highlight the versatility, excitement and importance of percussion within the arts.

Formed in 2011 while studying at the Queensland Conservatorium, Australia, the ensemble consists of Tsoof Baras, Lachlan Hawkins, Jeremy Sandroussi and Jamee Seeto. The group writes their own original music and arrangements and their performance focus is to involve the audience and provide an interesting spin on percussion music. They can perform anything from body percussion to recycled materials, drum kits to marimbas, even just on desks.

SoundStruck Percussion is very active within the local music scene, regularly performing in both traditional and corporate settings. The group’s recent performances include the inaugural Brisbane International Youth Music Festival, CROSSBOWS Festival, Mayfest, QYO Chamber Music Series as well as regular showcase concerts at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University. In 2012, SoundStruck Percussion also featured as soloists in the Myer Christmas Parade & Pantomime Media Launch as well as the IGA Lord Mayorʼs Carols in the City.

With influences ranging from STOMP, The Blue Man Group to Michael Jackson, the vision of the group is to thrill audiences with a fresh and entertaining approach to performing instrumental music. This means creating and performing original music, novelty pieces, mallet and drumming pieces, recital repertoire, and popular music arrangements as well as celebrating the innovative work of upcoming Brisbane composers through collaboration.

In 2013, SoundStruck Percussion is very excited to continue presenting solo concerts at the Queensland Conservatorium, as well as recording new compositions and arrangements.
