Music for a Great Space Presents Sympatico Percussion Quintet

This weekend, the Music for a Great Space concert series presents Sympatico Percussion Quintet. 

The group comes to the Triad this Friday night, January 16^th at 7:30PM, in Christ United Methodist Church in Greensboro. Today on the show, we'll hear three of the pieces on the program. There will be several others, and the Quintet will be offering percussion clinics at UNCG, UNCSA and some local elementary schools as well. 

Sympatico's Christopher Norton spoke with David Ford about the ensemble's diverse and eclectic repertoire beginning with Charleston Capers. It was composed in 1930 by George Green and this is from a recent SPQ recording with Christopher's colleague Susan Powell, who he describes as of the foremost ragtime xylophone soloists of her generation.
