Percussion

"Percussion"

WORKS BY
John Cage, Lou Harrison, Christopher Rouse, Eugene Kurtz, Irwin Bazelon and J. Verplanck

The Percussion Quartet was formed in the fall of 1987 by Gabriel Dionne, J. Riely Francis, Christopher Rose and Richard Skains, all students or former students of Richard Brown at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music. Its purpose is to present works for percussion that are intimate and engaging in ways that are possible only with a small ensemble. During May of 1989 the group participated in the Concert Artist Guild's 38th International New York Competition, the first percussion quartet chosen to perform at this event.
