My overall goal as a musician is to make the world more knowledgeable about percussion as a solo instrument. To make this possible, I am commissioning new works from composers, and building projects such as my existing project: MINIMAL ART, that will reach out to more people and educate society about percussion as a solo instrument in a new and creative way.

Many of these projects will also involve collaborations with other art forms such as visual arts, graphic design, dance, lighting design, multimedia, electronics, etc.

Building a repertoire for an instrument that has only gained recognition in the last hundred years is the work of a lifetime.

Minimal Art is a CD/DVD and live performance incorporating multi-media, computer music, live musicians and improvisation. Collaborative partners include composer Andrew Knox, graphic designer Ben Hill, and other composition and improvisation by percussion soloist Lisa Pegher.  Minimal Art is a visual display of both multi-media design and percussive art on stage.

Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra was composed by David Stock with a grant from “Meet the Composer” in 2007 and was written for Lisa Pegher. This new composition for percussion is being premiered throughout the United States in the 2008-09 seasons.

Modern Dance Project
The dance company, Of Moving Color, is collaborated with Lisa Pegher on her release of Minimal Art by adding choreography to the existing project.  The performance included modern dance, percussion improvisation, computer music, and animation.
