Pacific Rims Percussion Quartet, formed in 1996, is comprised of Gunnar Folsom, Paul Hansen, Matthew Kocmieroski, and Robert Tucker, leading players in new, chamber, and orchestral music, dance, theater, and film in the Pacific Northwest. Performing music from the 1930s to the present, from Cage to Xenakis to Takemitsu to Reich to Roldan, as well as producing their own concerts, they have appeared with Sonora, Seattle Chamber Players, and Seattle Creative Orchestra, and on series such as Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival, Seattle Chamber Music Society, Cornish Music Series, numerous appearances at the Seattle Asian Art Museum and at St. James Cathedral, where they helped celebrate Messiaen’s 100th birthday. Educational performances have included the Seattle Symphony’s “Tiny Tots” series, Seattle Public Schools, and Imperials Percussion Festival, as well as working and performing with percussion students at Musicworks Northwest and student composers and choreographers at Cornish College of the Arts, resulting in the premiere of many new works.
