Notable performances include the 2018 Percussive Arts Society International Convention in Indianapolis, Percussive Arts Society Ohio Chapter Days of Percussion at Capital University, Ohio Northern University, Youngstown State University, and Ohio Music Education Association Conferences in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati.

Our 2005 release "Dark Wood" includes six premiere recordings and commissions. Our commission project with New York City-based percussionist/composer John Hollenbeck on his "Ziggurat" for five percussionists and four saxophonists, was premiered at the Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City, and is available on his 2008 release "Rainbow Jimmies." The Youngstown Percussion Collective's 2012 release "Forms Of Things Unknown" is a concert-length suite by YSU professor of jazz studies, bass, and composition, Dr. Dave Morgan. Our 2012 recording of Ron Coulter's "Cajon Trio" will appear on an upcoming 2019 Coulter CD release.

II. Contemplativo
The second movement of a three-movement piece, this movement has its own special lyric and contemplative mood and serves as an isle of quietness between two volcanoes, in both atmosphere and instrumentation. This music expresses the principle: three bodies – one soul.

Werner Thomas-Mifune’s arrangements of Argentinean Tangos are published for string quartet and are performed from the original string quartet parts. The Tango is an Argentine genre of urban song and dance that has remained popular throughout the 20th century but which originated in the poor neighborhoods of Buenos Aires in the late 19th century. The dance, for couples in a tight embrace, is characterized by very sensual movement. The music is frequently in a minor mode and includes dramatic rhythmic and dynamic contracts. Notes by Glenn Schaft.
We have arranged this traditional dance music to include improvised keyboard and frame drum solos. The asymmetric meter consists of eleven subdivisions grouped 2/2/3/2/2 or 4/3/4.
