Meadows Wind Ensemble: Days of Drums…


Southern Methodist University - Caruth Auditorium in Owen Arts Center

$14 for adults, $11 for seniors, $8 for students, faculty & staff

A British journalist described JFK’s funeral activities as follows: “What I heard those days were not muffled cries of grief, nor solemn words, but the drums. Those were the days of drums.” Days of Drums will be a celebration of drums and drumming, featuring Eric Ewazen’s The Eternal Dance of Life, a piece written on commission for the Meadows Wind Ensemble (MWE) and legendary percussion ensemble NEXUS. This performance will feature the Meadows Percussion Ensemble, directed by Jon Lee. Other works include Warren Benson’s Symphony for Drums and Wind Orchestra, Joseph Schwantner’s and the mountains rising nowhere, works by two Meadows student percussionists, Austin Allen and Alex Shawver, and one classic chosen by members of the MWE.
