Notes
The Truman State University Concert Percussion Ensemble I, under the direction of Michael Bump, will present its Spring Concert at 8 p.m. April 15 in the Ophelia Parrish Performance Hall. Entitled “Time In Motion: The Art of the Percussive Gesture,” the concert’s program will feature percussion music that explores the many and varied means of gesture inherent in percussion performance. Audience members will find the consequential element of theater in this music quite interesting. The program will also feature junior percussion major, Brett Morris, winner of the 2012 Michael Hooley Memorial Percussion Award, in a new work for solo timpanist and percussion ensemble.
