The UW Percussion Ensemble (Bonnie Whiting, director) and UW Steel Band (Shannon Dudley, director) present live-streamed and pre-recorded performances in their Spring 2021 virtual concert.
PROGRAM DETAIL
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 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.”
