This unique concert will feature the rhythmic talents of both the USU Large Percussion Ensemble and the Caine Percussion Quintet, according to USU Today.
Speaking on the occasion, Jason Nicholson, associate professor of percussion, highlighted the event as a platform where percussionists can truly showcase their range and skills, he mentioned the tendency for percussionists to receive parts in a band or orchestra that might not be as challenging, and said, "This event will allow these percussionists to really showcase their abilities" as sourced by USU Today. The audience can expect a classical repertoire with pieces such as "Stained Glass" by David Gillingham and "A Ceiling Full of Stars" by Blake Tyson, along with many other familiar compositions, the choice of which was motivated by a desire to entertain both performers and attendees, Nicholson emphasized the dual joy in his selection.
