This concert will feature “Percuta”, a brand new work exploring the exciting rhythms of the tango by the Argentine bassists Pedro Giraudo. Percussia will also perform “Harmon Ick”, a quirky and adventurous composition by Ridgewood composer Skip LaPlante, which investigates the acoustic properties of overtone using spinning tubes and puts Percussia’s instruments to work using non-traditional techniques. Come to this free show to see what musical adventures Giraudo and LaPlante have in store for you!
