LIVE MUSIC Rhythm is on tap at the Northwest Percussion Festival By Laurie Heuston Mail Tribune MailTribune.com By Laurie Heuston Mail Tribune Posted Apr. 8, 2015 @ 3:21 pm Updated Apr 8, 2015 at 6:05 PM By Laurie Heuston Mail Tribune Posted Apr. 8, 2015 @ 3:21 pm Updated Apr 8, 2015 at 6:05 PM » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2325,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> Percussionist Steven Schick highlights the 2015 Northwest Percussion Festival Friday through Sunday, April 10-12, at the Oregon Center for the Arts at Southern Oregon University. Schick, who specializes in contemporary music, teaches at the University of California, San Diego and is music director and conductor of La Jolla Symphony Orchestra and San Francisco Contemporary Music Players. SOU music professor and Director of Percussion Studies Terry Longshore and his percussion ensembles host this year's festival — started in 1985 to give classical percussion ensembles from the region an opportunity to perform for one another and exchange ideas for repertoire. “I am excited to be hosting the Northwest Percussion Festival for the first time, and to present virtuoso percussionist Steven Schick to the festival audience,” Longshore says in a press release. “Schick is my mentor and teacher from graduate school, and one of the world’s pre-eminent solo multipercussionists.” Longshore studied with Schick while pursuing master's and doctoral degrees in contemporary music performance. "This is a chance to highlight the work we're doing at SOU, and to draw inspiration from my colleagues around the Northwest," Longshore says. The opening concert will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Music Recital Hall on the SOU campus, off South Mountain Avenue, Ashland. Tickets cost $10; $5 for seniors. Students get in free. Tickets can be purchased online at oca.sou.edu, at the box office in the music hall, or by calling 541-552-6348. The SOU Percussion Ensembles, directed by Longshore, will be joined by Schick to perform American composers' George Antheil’s modernist masterpiece “Ballet Mechanique” and Elliot Cole’s “Amen.” "The music will encompass a wide variety of styles from jazz and rock to avant-garde and contemporary classical percussion," Longshore says. " ‘Ballet Méchanique’ is an experience not to be missed. It's a logistical challenge with four grand pianos, a Dadaist film element and more to coordinate. It is an amazing piece of music.” The festival continues from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday with university ensemble groups of the Percussive Arts Society: California State University, Sacramento; Central Washington University; Husky Percussion Ensemble from the University of Washington; Portland State University; University of Alaska, Fairbanks; University of Oregon; Western Oregon University; and Western Washington University. Schick will teach a master class from 10:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, and the day wraps up with a directors’ recital at 7:30 p.m., featuring percussion directors of participating ensembles and the Portland Percussion Group. The festival concludes Sunday with performances continuing until early afternoon in the Music Recital Hall. Admission to all, except the Friday night concert, is free. Opening concert tickets cost $10, $5 for seniors and free for full-time students. The Performing Arts box office is located in the Music Recital Hall lobby. Box office hours are noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and two hours prior to each performance. Tickets can be purchased with a credit card over the phone by calling 541-552-6348 or online at oca.sou.edu/events. Contact the box office for discounts offered to SOU alumni, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute participants and SNAP/Oregon Trail cardholders.
