"Introductions"--an eclectic and exciting program of works that bring together musical instruments rarely heard in combination. The program will include "Moto Perpetuo for Viola and Percussion Ensemble," by Braxton Blake and "Pukul II" by Gareth Farr for Javanese gamelan instruments and Western percussion. UM saxophone Professor Donald Sinta and UM Oboe Professor Nancy Ambrose King will perform as soloists on Akira Nishimura's "Voice of the Sun". Along with these three pieces, the Ensemble--under the direction of Joseph Gramley--will perform several other "Introductions," eventually acquainting a whole series of instruments with the ones in the percussion family. The resulting sounds promise to be unexpected and exhilarating.
