Unit, PARTCH (featuring the music of Harry Partch), Eighteen2 (the music of Steve Reich), and Sharp Three (eclectic world-fusion improvisation). Nick is a founding member of the Lucerne Festival Percussion Group, an international ensemble of twelve virtuosos, which operates under the auspices of Pierre Boulez, members of the Ensemble Intercontemporian, and Switzerland's Lucerne Festival. Recent distinguished performances have occurred at the Lucerne Festival, Klangspuren Music Festival, Ojai Music Festival, Microfest, Monday Evening Concerts, Music & Conversations, Green Umbrella Concert Series, and the Stanford New Music Festival.
