  • 4/5 Percussion Ensemble Concert

    4/5, 8 PM

    On April 5th, the Percussion Ensemble will be performing the works of John Cage, such as “Living Room Music,” “Dance Music for Elfrid Ide,” “First Construction,” “Second Construction,” and “Third Construction.” These pieces come from a period in which Cage was experimenting with non-standard instruments, such as noisemakers and toy pianos, and found objects, such as tin cans and sheet metal. The Percussion Ensemble is conducted by Robert McEwan. von der Mehden Recital Hall is located at 875 Coventry Road. General admission is free. Free and well-lit parking is available across the street.
