Time Pieces: The New Classical

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.
