Massachusetts Day of Percussion 2008:
"A Celebration of Snare Drum"
Massachusetts Day of Percussion 2008 will be held in Boston on Sunday October 19th, 2008 at The Boston Conservatory. The Day is the first in a series exploring the literature of a particular percussion instrument. This event will feature the premiere of several new concert and pedagogical works featuring snare drum in solo and ensemble contexts. Commissioned works and selected winners of a snare drum etude competition will be included in a published volume of works which will be released for purchase at the event. Performances and classes at the event will explore the many musical faces of snare drum - orchestral, contemporary, drum corps, pipe band, etc. - as well as its history, mechanics, and maintenance. Stay tuned for more information.
