The Philidor Percussion Group, named after 17th-century kettledrummers Jacque and André Philidor, is comprised of North Carolina musicians John R. Beck, Rob Falvo, Wiley Sykes, and Peter Zlotnick. Active since 1991, Philidor has performed recitals and educational programs throughout much of the Southeast and is known for its combination of exciting music, virtuosic musicians, and theatrical sensibilities. The group has also been the featured solo ensemble for Russell Peck's The Glory and the Grandeur, performing with dozens of orchestras, including the Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and North Carolina Symphonies. Their programs draw on traditions from around the world where African and funk, mambo and Mozart, Indian tabla and jazz are all related in the world of rhythm.
