The Percussion Ensemble, directed by Professors Joseph Gramley and Jonathan Ovalle, presents a special evening devoted to the work of U-M\&##39;s own Sydney Hodkinson (DMA, 1968), who returns to Ann Arbor in the spring semester as the U-M William Bolcom Guest Professor of Composition. Hodkinson has been described by the American Record Guide as "a composer with an absolutely unique and fascinating musical language," and has been honored by the Guggenheim Foundation, the Canada Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Drawing from Hodkinson\&##39;s vast repertoire, the PE\&##39;s concert will feature percussion ensemble pieces, solos and mixed chamber pieces, including Night Moves (1990) and three sets from the composer\&##39;s "Drawings" series.
