About the Program

Music by Us began in 2023 as an initiative to encourage creativity within the UT Austin percussion studio. This yearly concert has produced over 25 world premieres by our students and has become a defining component of the UT Austin percussion experience.

About the Artists

Ivan Trevino 

Ivan Trevino is a Mexican-American composer, percussionist, teacher, and arts advocate. Celebrated as one of the most influential composer-percussionists of the 21st century, Ivan’s music has been performed on five continents in over 25 countries. His music distinctly threads indie-pop sounds with a contemporary classical aesthetic, and his body of work spans storytelling, singing marimba players, cello rockers, and an ever-present social consciousness. His newly commissioned works include music for The Juilliard School, The Eastman Wind Ensemble, and Grammy-winning quartet, Third Coast Percussion. Ivan serves as Assistant Professor of Practice at the Butler School of Music at The University of Texas at Austin, where he joyfully teaches a studio of undergraduate and graduate percussion majors.
