Third Coast Percussion - Since Time Began | ÜBERSCHLAG FESTIVAL

In the organizer's words:

The US percussion quartet trumps with probably the fullest stage of the festival and a fabulously diverse program of renowned US composers.

‍

Third Coast Percussion is a GRAMMY Award-winning percussion quartet and composer collective from Chicago. We are proud that this important formation of the current percussion world has decided to celebrate the start of their 20th anniversary together with us in Hanover!
They are bringing several highlights with them: The centerpiece of their program is Since Time Began, which was composed by drum veteran Michael Burritt for the 400th anniversary of the Zildjian cymbal forge. Following the world premiere at last year's PASIC, the leading percussion event in the USA, Third Coast Percussion are honoring us with the European premiere of this mammoth work.

No less interesting is a new piece that has emerged from the extraordinary collaboration between two composers: grand seigneur Philip Glass and electro musician Jlin finally throw genre boundaries overboard and bring (almost) danceable music into the concert hall.
Works by the Armenian jazz pianist Tigran Hamasyan and a mallet quartet by the young composer Machado Mijiga make the program one of the most diverse of our festival.
