Arts Share Percussion Concert

February 11, 2012 at 3:00pm

Riverside Recital Hall

"Music From (Nearly) Nothing" will be the theme when Iowa Percussion performs at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, in the Riverside Recital Hall, located in the former St. Thomas More Church at 405 N. Riverside Drive in Iowa City.

The concert is free and open to the public. University of Iowa Arts Share and the Community Foundation of Johnson County are the sponsors of the event.

Iowa Percussion is directed by Dan Moore, professor of percussion at the UI School of Music, who notes that this concert will demonstrate how the ensemble recycles ugly trash into beautiful music with found objects such as metal, wood, paper, and cardboard.

Arts Share continues the UI's long tradition of sharing creative resources from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Its goal is to strengthen the arts in underserved areas, reaching out to provide access to life-enriching arts experiences throughout Iowa.

 

The Community Foundation of Johnson County has a simple mission: building an endowment for the greater community good.
