Third Coast Percussion is a percussion ensemble based in Chicago, USA.

Formed in 2004 as a satellite of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the ensemble now operates independently performing concerts of contemporary classical repertoire by composers such as John Cage, Toru Takemitsu, Steve Reich, and others.

Third Coast Percussion released their first album in 2006 title "Ritual Music". The Album contains the premiere recordings of works by Nico Muhly, Tobias Brostom, David Skidmore, and Owen Clayton Condon.

The ensemble is responsible for the commissioning and premiere performances of dozens of new works for the genre including those by composers Marcos Balter, David Little, Aaron Travers, Andrew Mckenna Lee, Mark Berger, Michael Burritt, Ted Hearne, and Sarah Kirkland Snyder.

Incoporated as a Not for Profit arts organization in 2007, Third Coast Percussion is also involved in arts education, performing outreach and educational shows to young audiences in public schools across the Chicago Area.
