Ethos Percussion Group, a quartet equally at home in a contemporary classical repertoire and in collaborations with musicians from non-Western traditions, integrates global instruments and playing styles into percussion chamber music for a visually and aurally compelling experience. The ensemble’s critically-acclaimed performances regularly feature numerous commissions and world premieres, traditional influences from India, West Africa and the Middle East, and landmark works by composers such as John Cage, Philip Glass, Lou Harrison, Steve Reich and Frank Zappa, among others. The group’s rousing performance concludes with the heralded piece Missa Luba, a mass in the Congolese (Zairian) style with a guest choir, with tom-toms providing the rhythmic canvas, developing into a collective improvisation in the call-and-response style. For more information call 216-987-4444.
