Third Coast Percussion commissioned Zakir Hussain to compose Murmurs In Time–a major new work that blends the sounds of tabla with a classically-trained percussion ensemble. A shared spirit of collaboration and curiosity reverberates among the five artists who share the stage as part of this special concert presentation, which also includes works from acclaimed composer/performers Jessie Montgomery, Tigran Hamasyan, and Jlin.

This performance will take place in The Baker-Baum Concert Hall.
