Violinist Yvonne Lam joins Third Coast Percussion in a dynamic program featuring the music of GRAMMY® Award-winning composer/performer Jessie Montgomery. Study No. 1, Montgomery’s first work for percussion quartet, draws a vast universe of sounds out of a compact set of instruments. She continues this exploration in a new work composed specifically for TCP. Lou Harrison’s Concerto for Violin with Percussion Orchestra (with Lam as soloist) is a tour de force that draws inspiration from the vibrant sounds of Javanese gamelan. This program also features captivating works by Armenian jazz pianist Tigran Hamasyan and recent Pulitzer-finalist and frequent TCP collaborator Jlin.
