The Southern Oregon University Percussion Ensembles will present their first concert of the season – “Trances” – on Wednesday, December 3, at 7:30pm at the Music Recital Hall at Southern Oregon University.

The overarching theme of the 25–26 season is “playtime,” and this first concert will emphasize the power of trance-like music to invoke a spirit of play, a sense of calm, and a spirit of awe and wonder.

Featured repertoire:

John Alfieri - Fanfare for Tambourines

Ivan Trevino - Trances

Molly Joyce - Spheres featuring ASL poetry by Meg Day performed by members of the SOU/Rogue Valley deaf community.

Selections from the repertoire of the Maraval Road Steel Band, directed by Reed Bentley
