Hailing from Columbus, Georgia, Up/Down is a percussion quartet dedicated to the performance of new music at the highest standard. Consisting of Joel Castro, James Klausmeyer, Jonathan Mashburn, and Jordan Walsh, the group regularly performs both as a quartet and in smaller duo and trio settings. Notable recent projects have included performances at the 2014 Columbus Minimalism Symposium, the 2015 Chosen Vale Percussion Seminar, an appearance in Clayton State University’s Educational Series, and the 2015 PASIC Chamber Competition. Up/Down’s repertoire ranges from the works of veteran composers like Steve Reich and Jacob TV to newer contributions by Jason Treuting and Wally Gunn. The group is currently recording their first full-length album consisting of new works for percussion. It will be released in the Fall of 2017.
