Time Pieces: The New Classical

Friday, January 16th

Join us for an evening that redefines the possibilities of percussion. On the occasion of their 20th Anniversary, Chicago’s GRAMMY® Award-winning quartet Third Coast Percussion presents Time Pieces: The New Classical, a program that celebrates 20 years of genre-defying, award-winning music, including many of the ensemble’s 20th Anniversary commissions. Highlighting rhythm, history, and innovation, the concert reflects on percussion’s profound influence on classical music today.

Through works by Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Jessie Montgomery, Tigran Hamasyan, Clarice Assad, and electronic artist Jlin, each piece connects past and present — from Bach reimagined through electronic sound to new commissions by some of today’s leading composers.

Since forming at Northwestern University in 2005, Third Coast Percussion has become a driving force in contemporary music, praised for its “rare power” (Washington Post) and “inspirational sense of fun and curiosity” (Minnesota Star-Tribune). The ensemble’s 20th Anniversary tour includes new commissions, international residencies, and appearances across North America and Europe.

The CKUA Events Calendar is a listing of music, arts, and culture happenings for the whole province. It is a terrific resource that CKUA offers to the community, to share details about concerts, gallery openings, plays, and films.

Please note that due to the amount of listings, we publish events that focus on music, arts, or culture. While we'd love to publish all submitted items, the sheer number of events means that we sometimes have to decline submissions.

Email details to feedback@ckua.com and the CKUA team of calendar volunteers will do the rest.
