In Partnership with UIS Music
Percussionist Brant Roberts will showcase the wide range of styles and sounds that can only come from percussion instruments. This concert will feature music from around the world and tell the stories of different locations through sound. Brant will feature music ranging from classical to contemporary and finish the performance with vibraphonist Matthew Miller in a Latin-Jazz Duo.
