Capital University Percussion Studio

I am so excited to welcome Sympatico Percussion Group, with two of my former teachers - Susan K. Powell and Scott Herring, as well as Greg Beyer, Joe Krygier, and Johnny Mendoza to the Capital University Percussion Studio this Sunday, January 25 at 3pm. WITH guest flutist, Erin Helgeson Torres!

The concert is FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

If you can't make it on Sunday... they are also performing this evening at 7:30 at OSU Timishev Building. 😉

UPDATE: This event has been canceled. We’re pleased to have award winning percussion chamber ensemble Sympatico (featuring award winning flutist Erin Torres) with us this Sunday at 3pm! See you in HRH for a fantastic performance.

The Capital University Percussion Studio is presenting our final concert of the semester on Sunday, 11/23 (Concert Percussion and Steel Pan at 3pm AND Chamber Percussion at 6pm). Please join us in Mees Hall at Capital to see music of Lauren Teel, Heng Liu, Adam Tan, Francisco Perez, Steven Snowden, John Max McFarland, Dustin Schulze, Alan Hovhaness, John Cage, as well as steel pan favorites like Rant and Rave, Day-O, and Spin Cycle, among others.

There will be spoken word, an epic 'drum battle', music to accompany videos of thunderstorms rolling in, secret nomad languages from the Great Depression, quotes from a 365-day calendar of 'stupid' things people have said - set for two percussion and soprano to be performed by Susan Musselman, and musical imagery that evokes mountain scenes.
