 n\nEvent Date Begin: 2012-04-15\nEvent Date End: 2012-04-15\n\nThe indepen
 dent percussion ensemble is an early 20th century musical phenomenon that 
 was stimulated by the exploratory compositions of Edgard Var&egrave\;se\, 
 Henry Cowell\, Lou Harrison\, Harry Partch\, and\, especially\, John Cage.
  Composers such as Toru Takemitsu\, Steve Reich\, Michael Colgrass and Cha
 rles Wuorinen latched on to the new sonic possibilities that the percussio
 n ensemble suggested and wrote important pieces. There was also an explosi
 on in the growth of percussion ensembles on both the college campus and in
  the professional music world.\n\nFrank Epstein\, a Boston Symphony Orches
 tra percussionist\, Chair of Brass and Percussion at NEC\, and Director of
  the NEC Percussion Ensemble\, has long been an ardent champion of new mus
 ic. With the NEC Percussion Ensemble\, he has commissioned and given first
  performances of many new works\, helping building a 21st century repertor
 y for that instrumental grouping. Percussion Ensemble concerts\, then\, ar
 e a rich and varied mix of styles\, colors\, and textures.\n\nMembers of t
 he Ensemble: Peter Dodds\, Andrew Grossman\, Eliza Kinney\, Sean Van Winkl
 e. Come and be dazzled!\n\nStart time: 8:00 PM
