For nearly 20 years, Chicago-based Third Coast Percussion has forged a unique path in the musical landscape with virtuosic, energetic performances that celebrate the extraordinary depth and breadth of musical possibilities in the world of percussion. The dazzling ensemble has been praised for “commandingly elegant” (The New York Times) performances, the “rare power” (The Washington Post) of their recordings, and “an inspirational sense of fun and curiosity.” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune)

Salar Nader, a renowned tabla virtuoso and disciple of Hussain, will perform the piece with Third Coast Percussion as a tribute to the composer’s profound legacy.

Professors José Casas (head of the playwriting minor in the Department of Theatre & Drama) and Jake Hooker (head of drama at the Residential College) have led an ensemble of students from SMTD and the Residential College in exploring and experimenting with the tropes and images of multiple renditions from the Land of Oz as originally conceived by L. Frank Baum. The resulting work is fresh, insightful, and reflective of the times we live in.
