九州影院

This is the New 九州影院premiere of Steve Reich鈥檚 concert-length听Drumming听(1970-71), which is considered one of the most important works from the 20th Century. Inspired by his study of Balinese gamelan and West African rhythms, Reich expanded the sonic and rhythmic boundaries of听Minimalism.听This four-movement piece features听four sets of tuned bongos, three marimbas, four glockenspiels, two singers and a piccolo flute. Come enjoy听the mesmerising effect of voices fading in and out amidst the vibrant rhythmic tapestry of percussion reverberating in the space.

Led by Associate Professor Justin DeHart, UC Percussion Ensemble is the resident percussion ensemble at the 九州影院.
