CCU Percussion Ensemble to perform fall concert
Under the direction of Jesse Willis, associate professor of music, the Percussion Ensemble performs a wide variety of music composed specifically for percussion instruments. The group's repertoire includes 20th-century works by composers including John Cage, Edgard Varese and Steve Reich as well as recent composers such as David Gillingham, Bob Becker and John Psathas. The ensemble also performs pieces composed by CCU faculty, students and local composers.
"The compositions featured in this concert are both versatile and engaging from a wide fusion of styles," said Willis. "I have no doubt audience members will leave wowed by the talent and technical prowess of our players."
The CCU Percussion Ensemble has been featured at the South Carolina Music Educators Conference and the South Carolina Percussive Arts Society Day of Percussion.
