Program & Projects
Booking Overview 2026
Tom Teasley’s programs bring together world percussion, film, storytelling, jazz, cultural exploration, and immersive sound in experiences created for the stage, classroom, gallery, community, and beyond. His work spans solo percussion concerts, live film-score performances, duo collaborations, world-jazz projects, audio-visual art, sound installations, workshops, lectures, wellness experiences, and residencies, giving presenters and institutions a wide range of ways to bring his artistry to their audiences.
Rooted in global musical traditions and shaped by a contemporary creative voice, Tom’s programs move fluidly between performance, education, and meaningful audience engagement. Whether he is reimagining classic cinema through live percussion, guiding audiences through the rhythm of cultures and the spirit of jazz, creating immersive environments where sound and image meet, or leading students into a deeper understanding of music as a living cultural language, each offering is designed to feel both artistically rich and immediately accessible.
For presenters, schools, universities, festivals, cultural organizations, wellness partners, and event programmers, these programs offer flexible formats that can stand alone or be shaped into larger experiences. A concert can become a workshop. A film-score performance can include a talkback or educational component. A residency can connect performance, cultural learning, creativity, and community engagement over several days. This adaptability makes Tom’s work especially valuable for organizations looking for programming that is memorable, substantial, and easy to connect to a specific audience or setting.
At the center of it all is Tom’s rare ability to connect rhythm, culture, image, movement, and human experience. His programs invite audiences to listen more deeply, see music in new ways, and experience percussion not only as performance, but as a powerful form of storytelling, connection, reflection, and discovery.
