MILO PAPERMAN
Aka Triangle Boy
BIOGRAPHY
Hi there! I'm Milo Paperman, a percussionist currently living in Seattle. I'm experienced in orchestral, new music, and opera and broadway repertoire. I especially love the complicated multi-percussion choreography of modern musicals and chamber operas.
A Seattle native, I started my percussion journey in middle school through the Seattle Youth Symphony program; and began my musical theater experience through the 5th Avenue Theater's Rising Star Project, performing the percussion books for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Sweet Charity, and the famously difficult West Side Story, with guidance from Paul Hansen. I performed Daugherty's Raise the Roof for Timpani and Orchestra as my senior concerto with the Garfield High School Orchestra, and received 2nd place in mallet percussion at the Washington State Solo and Ensemble competition with a performance of Deane's Mourning Dove Sonnet.
I received my Bachelor's in Percussion Performance from Temple University in 2023, where I studied with Phil O'Banion, Chris Deviney, Bill Wozniak, Angie Zator-Nelson, and Rolando Morales-Matos. I received my Master's in Percussion Performance from DePaul University in Chicago in 2025, where I studied with David Herbert, Cynthia Yeh, Eric Millstein, and Ian Ding.
I've made some videos highlighting great percussion moments in the orchestral repertoire (with all parts performed and edited together by yours truly).
