Piñata Percussion with Thea Rossen (expired event)

Step into a World Beyond Sound: Piñata Percussion Ensemble in Concert with Guest Director Thea Rossen

Piñata Percussion Ensemble invites you to an evening of captivating performances that redefine the boundaries of percussion.

The night opens with 'Vicious Children' by Wally Gunn, a haunting tapestry of dark nursery rhymes woven into relentless percussive textures. Watch as the percussionists bring these eerie tales to life, their voices rising in chants and whispers, blending seamlessly with the beat.

Witness the world premiere of a new arrangement of Mark Applebaum’s 'Aphasia' for eight performers, a mesmerizing exploration of gesture and movement, brought to life by Thea Rossen and the ensemble in an unprecedented collaboration.

Delight in the precision and playfulness of 'Musique de Tables', where tabletops become instruments of pure rhythmic expression. Cassie Wieland’s 'Weeds' will captivate you with its delicate interplay between vibraphone and percussion, while Katy Abbott’s witty composition for four high hats and crotales adds a touch of lighthearted fun to the evening.

Joined by guest artist and UWA GraduateThea Rossen, this concert is a must-see experience, where sound, movement, and imagination converge in a spellbinding celebration of percussive artistry.

Don’t miss your chance to witness this one-of-a-kind performance.
