A UAB alumni percussion ensemble, Iron Giant is an emergent contemporary ensemble based in Birmingham featuring Sam Herman, Brett Huffman, Seth Noble and Justin Wallace. Established in 2011 to perform a collaborative piece with Sanspointe Dance Company, they subsequently presented three ambitious concerts in Alys Stephens Center’s Sirote Theater, each featuring some of the most influential and challenging percussion music from the 20th and 21st centuries. In addition to formal concerts, Iron Giant Percussion regularly participates in community and outreach programs through organizations such as Birmingham Art Music Alliance, Children’s Dance Foundation and Metropolitan Youth Orchestra’s Scrollworks.
