The New Jersey Percussion Ensemble was founded in 1967 by Raymond Des Roches, a nationally noted percussionist and William Paterson professor of music. The ensemble has appeared at Merkin Hall in New York and with the Chamber Music Society at Lincoln Center, the San Francisco Symphony, the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the Group for Contemporary Music, and made its international debut in 1993 during a celebration of percussion music in the Netherlands.
