“…sonically spectacular…” — John Von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
Third Coast Percussion presents a concert highlighting two centennial celebrations: the iconic percussion music of John Cage (1912-1992) and a new piece by TCP-member David Skidmore commissioned by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Taliesin, a masterpiece of American architecture. The concert opens with an exciting new work by ensemble member Owen Clay Condon, a sonic celebration of fractals.

Praised by Time Out Chicago for “chops, polish, and youthful joy in performing,” the quartet combines the driving intensity of drums, the beautiful warmth of marimbas and vibraphones, and the surprisingly exotic sounds of everyday objects to make music that is playful and profound. In performances around the country, the Chicago-based ensemble has swiftly gained national attention for effortlessly combining the energy of a rock concert with the precision and sophistication of classical chamber music.
