Bio

Members Richard Burrows, Jamie Drake and Daniel Morphy all met while studying music at the University of Toronto with Russell Hartenberger, Beverley Johnston and John Rudolph, while Adam Campbell hails from PEI and studied under Ken Shorley and Mark Adam at Acadia University. The members of TorQ are each accomplished musicians in their own right; together they form an incredibly dynamic chamber group. Under the initial guidance of Robin Engelman (NEXUS), they have honed their craft to form an ensemble that is as exciting as it is musical.

About

TorQ was formed in 2004 by four young, enthusiastic Toronto-area percussionists looking to add new energy to
percussion repertoire and performance.  As well as competing as the sole Canadian representative at the
Luxembourg International Percussion Quartet Competition, TorQ has performed to much acclaim and standing
ovations across Canada, including feature performances at MusicFest Canada Nationals, the Open Ears
Contemporary Music Festival, the Four Seasons Centre for the Arts and with the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra for the world premiere of David Gillingham’s Concertino for Four Percussion and Orchestra.  TorQ’s repertoire ranges from sweetly lyrical mallet quartets to no-holds-barred, high energy percussive show pieces. In addition to performing classic percussion ensemble repertoire, TorQ is committed both to commissioning works from emerging Canadian composers, and to promoting music education in schools.
