SONUS Percussion Band – Debrecen

The SONUS Percussion Band is formed by the students of the Faculty of Music at Debrecen University. They have been functioning since 1974, and they have been using the name SONUS since 2004. Every year the band performs in multiple concert series, their repertoire includes both children’s concerts and classical chamber music shows. Their self-organized events are popular as well, e.g. the New Year’s Eve concert or earlier, their Carnival concert. During these concerts, besides classical percussion pieces, covers and popular compositions are also performed. The band has been abroad several times, the last occasion was in January 2020 when they performed in Croatia at an international festival. The band has been led by István Szabó since 1993.
