STEPHENVILLE, Texas—The Tarleton State University Percussion Ensemble invites the public to a concert featuring guest artist Ricardo Flores and Tarleton clarinet professor Dymytro Perevertailenko at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 21, at the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center Auditorium.
This free concert showcases the versatility of percussion instruments, from a frenetic opera interlude by Dmitri Shostakovich to a hauntingly beautiful bowed vibraphone postlude by Elliot Cole. Perevertailenko’s contribution will be John Mackey’s Damn, an electrifying work full of jazzy clarinet rifts atop a barbaric percussion quartet.
Flores joins the Tarleton students on a Latin improvisation and will close out the concert with a performance of Baljinder Sekhon’s fascinating Passageways for steel pan and percussion ensemble.
