1,000+ kiddos (and kids at heart) sang, clapped, and cheered for @sandiegosymphony, @windsync and maestro @geraldkarni, who presented the world premiere of my piece, Space Junk, a Symphonic Children’s Story ✨🥹 I still have chills reflecting on the performance and care everyone involved gave to this project. THANK YOU 😭🙏🏽❤️

My new symphonic children’s story, Space Junk, will be premiered this week by @sandiegosymphony and @windsync! 😱✨ The piece was created with young audiences in mind and includes an original story, theatrics, and audience participation (including singing!) To have this coincide with the Artemis II NASA mission is serendipitous to say the least. If you are in the San Diego area, we hope can join us for this space-themed concert! ⭐️💫🪐

T-minus two weeks until we join the @sandiegosymphony for the launch of Space Junk by @ivan.drums 💫

This theatrical musical story for wind quintet and orchestra tells the story of a little star and how she makes something beautiful out of others’ debris. We’ll appear with the symphony as soloists, characters, and narrators in this world premiere for young people and the young at heart. Ivan’s score brilliantly captures the magic of imagination and play, and we can’t wait to share it!

This part in This Too Shall Pass is a tricky one. Finding the melody can help, and I definitely should have added these phrase markings in the original score way back in 2013 - my bad! Edition 2 in the queue 🙏🏽

We're so ✨ lucky✨ to have percussionist and composer Ivan Trevino with us in Nashville this summer!

Ivan Trevino is a Mexican-American composer, percussionist, teacher, and arts advocate. Recognized around the world for his contributions to percussion literature, Ivan’s music has been performed across five continents in 25 countries. His music distinctly threads indie-pop sounds with a contemporary classical aesthetic, and his body of work spans storytelling, singing marimba players, cello rockers, and an ever-present social consciousness.

An active educator, Ivan serves on the faculty of the Butler School of Music at The University of Texas at Austin, where he joyfully teaches a studio of undergraduate and graduate percussionists and music creators. Ivan received the 2024-2025 Teaching Excellence Award from Butler School of Music for his contributions to student learning and teaching innovation. In 2025, he was appointed Fellow to the Florence Thelma Hall Centennial Chair in Music, an honor recognizing creative excellence in the field of contemporary classical music.

Previously, Ivan served on faculty at Baylor University and as co-director of the Eastman Percussion Festival at his alma mater, Eastman School of Music. He is currently an artist and clinician for Marimba One, Innovative Percussion, Black Swamp Percussion, Pearl’s Malletstation, Meinl, and Zildjian Cymbals. In 2021, Innovative Percussion and Ivan collaborated to design his own line of signature series marimba and vibraphone mallets, which are used by percussionists around the world.

Ivan is also known for his work as a drummer with Break of Reality, an international touring cello rock quartet. As a member of the ensemble, Ivan was selected as a music ambassador by the U.S. State Department. Break of Reality has released five studio albums, is on regular rotation on National Public Radio, and has over 100 million streams on Spotify and Pandora Radio.A Texas native, Ivan resides in Austin with his wife Amanda and their children, Henry and Oscar.
