UW Percussion Ensemble and UW Steelband present their annual percussion bash concert, celebrating a year of creativity and resourcefulness during a time of social distance. Percussion Ensemble presents both pre-recorded and truly livestreamed music, featuring works by Shruti Rajasekar, Gabriela Lena Frank, Qu Xiao-Song, and Joe W. Moore III, interspersed with movements from Mauricio Kagel's classic work of percussion theatre, Rrrrrr...
Performing as a socially distanced quintet this year, the UW Steelband highlights the sounds of the steelband’s individual instruments – bass, triple cellos, double seconds and tenor – performing arrangements of Caribbean songs that leave plenty of space for improvisation, and offering a bigger sound in its pre-recorded and overdubbed performance of Yesterday.
The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Pacific.
