Three Kalamazoo College music ensembles are concluding their 2023\u201324 academic years with spring concerts in the coming days, starting tonight, May 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Percussion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight\u2019s International Percussion performance, beginning at 7, will take place outside, in front of the Light Fine Arts building. There will be chairs and grass to sit on. Bring a blanket if you would like to sit on the lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolyn Koebel is the director of both groups within International Percussion, the West African ensemble and the Japanese Taiko ensemble, which are a combination of K students and community members who learn drumming techniques and then play together as a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free concert will feature marimba player Julia Holt \u201924, performing two selections written by composer Keiko Abe, who collaborated with Yamaha Corp. to develop the modern five-octave concert marimba. The Taiko ensemble will present two selections dealing with the giving of gifts to the Taiko community from special sources with music shared by Sensei Esther Vandecar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Academy Street Winds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly 50 years of teaching and conducting experience from elementary school through higher education, Academy Street Winds Director Tom Evans will lead the group for the last time in a concert titled, \u201cIt\u2019s Time to Say Goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
