Known for its riveting performances of new and experimental music, TimeTable invites audiences to experience percussion up close.
The group specializes in music that crosses boundaries of style and discipline, with an emphasis on works that challenge the language and materials of percussion music. TimeTable collaborates closely with emerging and established composers to investigate and expand the possibilities for percussion-based music, and commissions, premieres, and records an ever-growing body of new works.
TimeTable maintains an active performance schedule including concerts in New York City and beyond, and collaborations with other ensembles and composer collectives. Through its school programs and master classes, the group offers insight into contemporary percussion music and the process of composer-performer collaboration.
TimeTable has performed extensively in and around New York City and the Northeast, including performances and workshops at the Mannes College of Music’s Institute and Festival for Contemporary Performance, The Juilliard Summer Percussion Seminar, Manhattan School of Music, Williams College, MIT, Boston Conservatory, and Bates College. Collaborations with composer collectives and other organizations have included those with Wet Ink, Columbia Composers, Three Two Festival, and Forecast Music.
