A composer portrait: Dave Hollinden The University of Michigan percussion ensemble takes a multi-angled view of the works of Dave Hollinden. Dave studied at Michigan and has been a prominent voice within the percussion world for many years. On the program will be The Whole Toy Laid Down which Michigan premiered back in 1989 and his second Quartet for Percussion (1999.) Also on the program is his new octet, Immersion, featuring The Donald Sinta Saxophone quartet. Dave Hollinden has composed extensively for percussion, and his music is widely performed in the US and overseas. He has a unique voice that speaks not only of his training in composition but also of his background in rock music and his affinity for rhythm and number. U-M grad and current SMTD lecturer Marc LeMay\&##39;s Vesper Trains will also be on the program: a new voice for our group.
