On December 6, 2008 at 8:00pm, Vancouver Pro Musica presents The Fringe Group percussion quartet at the Vancouver Community College Auditorium (1155 East Broadway) as part of our Further East / Further West concert series.
This eclectic concert will feature a number of new works by BC composers Craig Day, Colin MacDonald, Jocelyn Morlock, Ed Paik, and Teresa Richert. Written for a multiplicity of percussion instruments, these innovative pieces take influence from a wide range of intercultural sources embracing Latin rhythms, Asian pentatonic scales, and Eastern melodies, alongside the traditions of Western Art Music. The evening will also feature works by Japanese composer Minoru Miki and Italian composer Giovanni Sollima.
The Fringe Group is Vancouver’s premiere percussion quartet, featuring the talents of award-winning percussionists Jonathan Bernard, Martin Fisk, Brian Nesselroad, and Daniel Tones. The Fringe Group strives to strengthen the voice of local composers and global musical traditions, presenting works from the contemporary Western art music and non-Western repertories.
The Further East/Further West concert series is a production of Vancouver Pro Musica that aims to involve diverse cultural communities in contemporary music making and provide new opportunities for BC composers to create intercultural music.
