March Afternoon Sabbatical

Percussion Á La Carte

Dr. Christopher H. Fashun, assistant professor of music and Ben Runkel, percussion

During the first half of the 20thcentury, composers turned to the field of percussion because of the endless possibilities of experimentation and sounds. Percussionists soon established their own solo and chamber repertoire. Western Classical tradition opened to sounds of world percussion and other cultures as well as various combinations with non-percussion voices. Percussion Á la Carte is exactly what is says - an afternoon of sound combinations that include both Western and Brazilian percussion.
