Third Coast Percussion

Third Coast Percussion perform new works by two musical visionaries – iconic minimalist composer Philip Glass, and pop polymath Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange). Perpetulum is Glass’s first ever work for percussion ensemble, a thrum of malleted percussion, wood blocks, tambourine, snare and bass drum. Written specifically for Third Coast Percussion, the piece features a cadenza created by the performers themselves. That spirit of group creation is echoed in Devonté Hynes’s piece, which Hynes produced with the ensemble, allowing them to orchestrate his musical content, creating a rich, texture-driven work. These pieces are joined by works by Steve Reich, Gavin Bryars and David Skidmore.
