Storm of percussion brewing at ANU
Get ready for some exciting drumming - plates, glasses, garbage cans,
brooms, sticks and human bodies are just a few everyday objects that the
ANU School of Music Percussion Group will be playing at their annual concert
at The Australian National University this weekend.
This year the School of Music Percussion Group has been preparing several
numbers made popular by the international touring percussion ensemble
STOMP. "Brooms Hilda", "Stinkin' Garbage", "Me
Tarzan" and "Diners Club" are some of the unusual pieces
featured in the concert.
In addition, there will be the Canberra premiers of Christopher Rouses'
"Bonham", a tour de force tribute to Led Zeppelins' legendary
drummer, John Bonham and David Maslanka's poignant "Crown of Thorns".
Joining the Percussion Group will be performer and composer Graeme Leak.
Graeme's "Art of Noise", has a unique style, which brings together
invented, found and traditional instruments, voice and text, movement
and audio technology to make surprising music, which is characterised
by a sense of humour and joy.
What: ANU School of Music Percussion Group STOMPS
