Prehistoric Percussion is a new Baltimore city-based performing collective unified by the primal human drive for rhythm. We are inspired by the drum beat that connects all of humanity, and seek out music with rhythmic drive and personality. We hope to connect audiences to their childlike love of rhythm and drumming and share the visual, visceral thrill of virtuosic percussion performance, as we share music across the traditions we play.

Join us for our first-ever contemporary percussion performance, with energetic percussion duets, lyrical marimba solos, and groove! This performance will feature Ailee Morrison, Braeden Devnew, Brett Sellers, and Sage Nielson.
