Percussion Group Cincinnati
New Chinese Contribution
Focus Day Evening Concert
Wednesday, 8:00 p.m.

Founded in 1979, Percussion Group Cincinnati consists of members Allen Otte, James Culley, and Russell Burge, all of who are faculty members at the College-Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati.  Percussion Group Cincinnati is particularly respected for its knowledge and experience with the entire range of the music of John Cage, having made tours and festival appearances with him on a number of occasions in Europe and America. More recently, the Group has developed similar relationships with John Luther Adams, Qu Xiao-Song, Russell Peck, and Larry Austin on the Charles Ives Universe Symphony project.  Their recording of John Luther Adams’ evening-length “Strange and Sacred Noise” was released in surround-sound by Mode this year. They are currently working on their contribution to the series of Mode Records’ integrated set of the complete music of John Cage, and on a 25-year retrospective multi-disc set including performances from the group’s entire history.
