UCO Percussion Consort to Perform at Jazz Lab

November 15 , 2007

The University of Central Oklahoma Percussion Consort will present its fall concert at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 28 at the UCO Jazz Lab at 5th and Littler in Edmond.

Among the works to be presented is a mallet ensemble entitled “The Invisible Proverb,” by Oklahoma born composer Russell Hartenberger, a member of the Nexus percussion ensemble and a Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame inductee. The piece incorporates musical elements that Hartenberger has encountered during his world travels.

The concert also includes selections by John Cage, Michael Colgrass, J. B. Smith and Rick Kvistad.

The Consort was established in 2004 and plays music written and arranged for the vast family of percussion instruments. From duos and trios to large works involving twelve or more players, the ensemble’s repertoire reflects the history of percussion, as well as its place in the 21st century.
