Here is a cool video of Steve Reich’s Sextet from my tour with Camerata Pacifica!
Here is a performance of Xenakis’ Pleiades with The Meehan/ Perkins Duo and So Percussion from PASIC 2011.
Inuksuit in Morningside Park with 99 percussionsts – WOW! Thanks to Miller Theatre and Make Music NY for making this singular experience possible. Here is great video from the performance. Also, here is what the New York Times had to say.
Inuksuit at the Armory was a blast! Here is a great video that shows some of the performance and articles in the New Yorker and the New York Times.
Todd and I have a new CD of early percussion music that just came out. It is called “Restless, Endless, Tactless – Johanna Beyer and the Birth of American Percussion Music”. I am so proud of this project! It is a great collection of little known music that helped define our repertoire. It also features the Baylor Percussion Group and Matt McClung with great help and direction by John Kennedy. It is on New World Records. Buy it here.
Xenakis in Central Park is one of NYC’s best events. We made the Top 10 in Time Out New York and New York Magazine.
