The Renaissance Percussion ensemble was founded in 2005. It comprises percussion musicians of the Mariinsky Orchestra. In 2005 the ensemble gave its first concert performances in Russia and abroad and won 1^st prize at the International Rachmaninoff Ensembles’ Competition in St Petersburg. In 2012, seven years later, it again took 1^st prize at the same competition. Today the ensemble’s repertoire includes works from various eras and styles. One of the ensemble’s priorities is performing music by Russian and European classical composers in arrangements for melodic percussion instruments written by members of the ensemble Vladislav Ivanov and Arseny Shuplyakov.
