About

Wesley Fowler is a percussionist driven by artistic husbandry. Through education, performance, administrative tinkering, and audio/video production, he seeks to give generously to the community through music. He specializes in contemporary percussion, and is currently a doctoral student at the University of California studying with Steve Schick. Now settled in San Diego, he is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He previously served as the Director of Music at Austin Preparatory School in Reading, MA, overseeing their instrumental and vocal music program, and as the manager of Performance Technology at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, producing audio/visual services for over 680 performances and events every year. Wesley teaches percussion, piano, music theory, filmmaking, and technical theater production, and is currently a percussion instructor at Belle Melodie Music Art School. He was a featured soloist with the Plymouth Philharmonic, and has performed alongside other ensembles such as the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Nief-Norf, Charles River Wind Ensemble, Boston New Music Initiative, Ensemble Knox, and more. When he’s not making music, he’s probably covered in flour in his kitchen working on a new recipe to share.
