Performers Information

Founded in 2014 by Trevor Barroero, Lauren Floyd, and Wesley Sumpter, Lineage Percussion is a trio that spreads its roots into many facets of the chamber music industry.

Deeply rooted in a rich history of orchestral percussion, Lineage Percussion seeks to preserve and expand upon the traditions and style of percussion performance set forth by their long line of teachers. This balance of innovation and replication results in the trio’s distinctive sound. No matter the instrument, their identical training results in a uniform, connected approach that is palpable.

Social advocacy and justice is an important facet of the group. Through their commissions as well as compositions of their own, Lineage aims to uplift communities and ideas that need support from the arts. They center the idea that music must be representative of the current time.

Passionate about supporting new works by contemporary composers, Lineage Percussion has commissioned and premiered over a dozen new works for percussion trio. Professionally endorsed as educational artists with Black Swamp Percussion, Remo Drumheads, and Dragonfly Percussion, they have presented clinics and performed recitals for elementary, middle, and high schools as well as retirement communities and private organizations around the states of Georgia, Arizona, and Maryland. ​ From the inception of the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition 43 years ago, Lineage made history in 2016 by becoming the first percussion group to reach finals of the senior division, earning the bronze medal. They are also semifinalists of both the Coltman Chamber Competition and the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition (2015) and third place winners of the Percussive Arts Society’s Chamber Competition.
