Solo percussionist Joseph Van Hassel presents a concert of new music for solo snare drum, including the world premiere of works by Berkeley-born composer David Macbride and San Francisco native Janis Mercer. Also included are works by Oakland native Dan VanHassel and founding member of Percussion Group Cincinnati, Allen Otte. The program includes multiple styles of performance (fixed and interactive electronics among them) that show just how versatile this “simple” instrument truly is.
