UWI Percussion on the Greens

The student performance will be on the greens at the Department of Creative and Festival Arts on Gordon Street, St Augustine, on Saturday at 5 pm.

Percussion on the Greens will feature a plethora of interesting combinations of traditional and ethnic percussion instruments all orchestrated to challenge one’s imagination of different percussive timbres. The combination of instruments range from tuned percussion (concert bells, xylophone, vibraphone, marimbas, chimes and timpani) to battery percussion (drums, and auxiliary percussion).

The audience will hear a variety of musical genres that feature rhythmic and melodic percussion pieces specifically composed for percussion ensemble.

Patrons are encouraged to walk with their blankets to this picnic-styled event.
