PARMA Live Stage presents “Points of Interest” by the Grover von Kampen Percussion Duo. The repertoire and concept for the concert emerged over several years as ensemble members Evan and Kevin approached colleagues at the College Conservatory of Music to compose works for the duo. During this time, they invited composers into a percussion space filled with instruments and encouraged composers to explore sounds and techniques. This process and the composers’ own predilections ignited the spark that spurred on the creation of new works by: Owen Hopper, Tyler Kline, Drew Nolan, Emma O’Halloran, Qingye Wu, and Mark Zanter. The works span the gamut from the new complexity to indie rock from DIY instruments to massive multi-percussion set-ups. An eclectic mix of works for acoustic instruments, fixed media, and live electronics presented in the beautiful Cohen Family Studio Theatre, in the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music.
The broadcast will become available at 7:30pm Eastern / 4:30pm Pacific.
