The UVA Percussion Ensemble, directed by I-Jen Fang, will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary with “A Night of Percussion Concert” Saturday, April 5th, at 8pm in Old Cabell Hall. Alumni and current members will come together for a full weekend of fun and exciting events. The program will include the “greatest hits” from the past years by Mark Panetti and Judith Shatin as well as four world premieres by UVA composers.
The concert will open with Percussive Main Tenants by alum Craig Hunter (2015) composed for the entire 18-member ensemble. Connectivity by Molly Joyce, a current UVA Ph.D. composition student, written for I-Jen Fang on marimba with percussion trio will close the first half of the program. The second half of the concert will begin with a beautiful nostalgic piece, Feeling of Coming Home by Victor LaBozzetta III. Duel of the Beasts by our very own Charles Meyersberg (first year), written for 11 first and second year members of the ensemble. Then the concert will close with Night Songs by Cameron Church (2020). Alumni will join forces with the current members of the percussion ensemble to perform on this last piece.
