Music At The Fort Concert - Bridge Percussion

Description

This month features an exciting percussion ensemble.  Join us in this informal, intimate setting.  The event is FREE, but a $10 donation for the wine & cheese reception is accepted.

Bridge Percussion is a Chicago-based percussion collective that showcases members of the Northwestern University percussion studio from different graduation years and diverse backgrounds.  In the summer of 2024, the ensemble performed the Chicago premiere of Seven Pillars by Andy Akiho to a weekend of sold-out crowds at Fulton Street Collective.  Bridge Percussion is committed to presenting engaging and accessible percussion music to audiences around the Chicagoland area and we are grateful for their performance here.  

Bridge Percussion includes MYAC faculty member and percussion coach, Alex Chao and Finley Lau, '16 Alum.
