gongs, marimbas, xylophones, bells, vibraphones, chimes and timpani, as well as “found”
instruments. The music will include a variety of ethnic musical styles, including Michael Udow’s
“African Welcome Piece,” Arthur Lipner’s “City Soca.” Two percussion ensemble selections, by
Johanna Magdalena Beyer and John Cage, each written nearly 100 years ago, will feature the
“found” instruments, a common element of modern chamber music techniques. In addition, local
