For over fifteen years, Grammy Award-winning Chicago-based percussion quartet Third Coast Percussion has created unexpected performances that constantly redefine the classical music experience. The group brings a thrilling percussive adventure to the Bing with expansive and sweeping sounds that explore wellness and sustainability, including world premieres of works by Missy Mazzoli and Stanford professor of composition Mark Applebaum, a performance of Jlin's Perspective, and a sound meditation by Third Coast Percussion.
~~~~~~~~
The ever inventive Third Coast Percussion, (2017 Grammy Award winners for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble performance for their recording of Steve Reich's works for percussion), will perform the Bay Area premiere of the first percussion quartet written by Philip Glass, who accepted the commission to feed his interest in new challenges.
Third Coast Percussion is a Grammy-winning, artist-run quartet of classically-trained percussionists hailing from the great city of Chicago. For over ten years, the ensemble has forged a unique path in the musical landscape with virtuosic, energetic performances that celebrate the extraordinary depth and breadth of musical possibilities in the world of percussion. The ensemble has been praised for "commandingly elegant" (New York Times) performances, the "rare power" (Washington Post) of their recordings, and "an inspirational sense of fun and curiosity" (Minnesota Star-Tribune). The four members of Third Coast are also accomplished teachers, and since 2012, have served as ensemble-in-residence at the University of Notre Dame's DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
The quartet's curiosity and eclectic taste have led to a series of unlikely collaborations that have produced exciting new art. The ensemble has worked with engineers at the University of Notre Dame, architects at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, dancers at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and musicians from traditions ranging from the mbira music of Zimbabwe's Shona people, to indie rockers, to some of the world's leading concert musicians.
