Percussiano3 to open Kingston Road Village Concert Series on Sunday afternoon

Percussiano3 is set to captivate Kingston Road Village Concert Series audiences with their bold, energetic, and surprising performance this Sunday afternoon.

Featuring two pianists and one percussionist, this innovative trio is redefining the boundaries between classical, contemporary, and percussive music through dynamic live concerts that combine virtuosic musicianship with entertaining flair.

Touring with an expansive setup — including vibraphone, gongs, drum kit, and a shared piano — Percussiano3 offers more than just a recital. Each performance is a high-voltage journey through rhythm, resonance, and sonic landscapes.

The ensemble has gained a reputation for its unique instrumentation, intense ensemble chemistry, and its ability to surprise audiences with both humour and depth.

“We don’t just perform classical music,” said Elizabeth Bergmann, one of the pianists of Percussiano3. “We create an experience — something lively, something joyful, and always a little unexpected.”

Bringing together a rich palette of musical colours, Percussiano3 explores new possibilities in sound and space both rhythmically and lyrically. The interplay between four hands at the piano and an ever-shifting array of percussion instruments results in performances that are as visually engaging as they are sonically thrilling.

From transporting delicate mallet instruments and gongs, bells and drums to adapting to the acoustic challenges of each venue, touring with Percussiano3 is a complex endeavour — but one fuelled by passion, precision, and a shared sense of vitality.

For their Sunday, Oct. 26, performance to open the Kingston Road Village Concert Series’ Fall 2025 season at Kingston Road United Church, Percussiano3 will play a wide variety of pieces.

The audience can expect to hear Copland’s Hoe Down, selected tangos by Astor Piazzolla, Chabrier’s España and songs from Bernstein’s West Side Story.

All the pieces performed are uniquely presented as the group’s own arrangements and adaptations.

Whether performing in concert halls, contemporary music festivals, or unconventional spaces, the trio brings with them an infectious enthusiasm and a spirit of exploration, leaving audiences talking long after the final note.

The concert begins at 2 p.m. Kingston Road United Church is located at 975 Kingston Rd.

Tickets for the concert are $35 in advance, $40 at the door. To order tickets online, please go to https://percussiano3.eventbrite.ca
