Join DJ Velvet Einstein on Saturday, May 18th @ 8:30PM when he airs a recent interview with David Skidmore from Chicago based, Grammy Award-winning American percussion ensemble, Third Coast Percussion. Tune in to hear the history of percussion ensembles, the importance of music education, and the science of tones created by cutting galvanized steel pipe.
Founded in 2005, Third Coast Percussion has performed hundreds of concerts across the country, presents an annual concert season at home in Chicago, teaches musicians of all ages and experience levels, and has commissioned dozens of new works by composers including Glenn Kotche, Chris Cerrone, Donnacha Dennehy, Timo Andres, David T. Little, Ted Hearne, and Augusta Read Thomas. Third Coast Percussion is the Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Notre Dame.
