Holiday Greetings everyone - here's something to look forward to early in the new year!
The Scruncheons Percussion Ensemble are releasing their first CD recording, Journey, on Sunday January 10. A tribute to world renowned
percussionists Don Wherry and John Wyre, this double CD package contains both a studio disc and a live disc. It was five years in the making, with works written over the last seventeen years, and features
over twenty-five different percussionists. All of the music was written for the Scruncheons by members or instructors of the group.
Join in the magic on January 10 as we play music from the CD, as well as a number of other pieces that have had particular meaning for the Scruncheons over the years.
As a special feature on this concert, thirteen Scruncheon Alumni will join together in a performance of Edgard Varese's Ionisation, conducted by Denise Grant. You'll also hear Don Wherry's Whirley Gig, and Brad Kilpatrick's arrangement of Radiohead's Let Down. Andrew McCarthy is featured on marimba in Zivkovic's Uneven Souls for marimba, 3 percussion, and singers. We'll also play the dynamic marimba quartet Omphalo Centric Lecture by Nigel Westlake, and much much more.
If you don't recognize these pieces, fear not! It's guaranteed to be a riveting evening that you won't forget. The players are:
Kyle Andrews, Evan Bowen, Bill Brennan, Sarah Brockway, Brad Cooper, Romano Dinillo, Dan Farmer, Keith Harding, Brad Kilpatrick, Rich Klaas, Dave Lane, Katie Lawlor, Rob Lee, Andrew McCarthy, George Morgan, Samantha Oakes, Alex Peppard, John Power, Rob Power, Andrew Rideout, Whitney Rowe, Adam Staple.
When: Sunday, January 10, 8:00pm
