Carnegie Hall

Third Coast Percussion makes its Carnegie Hall debut with its collaborative program, Metamorphosis, featuring choreography by Movement Art Is (Lil Buck and Jon Boogz), performed by Lil Buck and Cameron Murphy.

Third Coast Percussion makes its Carnegie Hall debut joining forces with the groundbreaking choreography and movement of Movement Art Is (Lil Buck and Jon Boogz) for an intimate, evening-length program that explores the duality of human nature. At once intensely personal and fiercely virtuosic, two disparate styles of street dance blend seamlessly with new music by Jlin and Tyondai Braxton, as well as Third Coast Percussion’s critically-acclaimed arrangements of Philip Glass’s Aguas da Amazonia.

This performance will take place in Zankel Hall, with a special in-the-round configuration for a truly immersive experience.

Limited tickets are available. Click here for more information.
