SHELLY PURDY is a contemporary percussionist committed to performing, teaching, experimenting, and commissioned new works from both emerging and established composers.

Purdy received her B.A. in Percussion Performance at UMBC, where she was a recipient of the Linehan Artist Scholar Award, and her Masters from the University at Buffalo where she studied with Tom Kolor of Talujon.
