University of Michigan Percussion
Robert Maggio’s Everything I Thought I Wanted is a dynamic new six movement work composed for the University of Michigan Percussion Ensemble.
The work grew out of months of collaboration with the group and resulted in a large-scale piece and commissioning project between Rob, U-M, and university percussion ensembles from around the United States.
The work was premiered and recorded in fall 2023.
The U-M Percussion Ensemble is directed by Ian Antonio and Doug Perkins. The performers are Elijah Hall, James Koo, Paige Madden, and Rachel Richards.
