Marshall percussion ensemble to perform Thursday night

November 03, 2009 @ 11:40 AM

HUNTINGTON — The Marshall University Percussion Ensemble will perform in concert at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, in Smith Recital Hall. The group, which is under the direction of Steven Hall, will perform selections ranging in style from ragtime to the Puerto Rican plena.

“This performance is a wonderful opportunity to hear a wide variety of interesting and exotic percussion music played by a talented and dedicated group of university students,” Hall said.

Members of the ensemble are primarily music education and performance students specializing in percussion at Marshall.  However, the ensemble is open to any MU student with percussion experience, according to Hall.

Admission is free and open to the public.
