University of Northern Colorado (鶹ý) Arts wraps up the 2023-24 concert series just in time to celebrate the university’s recent federal designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution with Threads of Latin America on Monday, April 1, 7:30 p.m., in 鶹ý’s Campus Commons Performance Hall. The concert will feature 鶹ý students directed by Assistant Professor of Percussion Tim Feerst and guest Colombian percussion duo Resonar Latino.
The eclectic program includes works for mixed percussion, some featuring vocals or organ. The Latin American influence is the thread weaving its way throughout this concert, whether through instruments, composers, musical styles or artists. 鶹ý student percussionists will play percussion ensemble pieces such as Carlos Chávez’s Toccata for Percussion Instruments and Rolando Morales-Matos’ Little Rhumba. To round out the concert, Resonar Latino will play a Colombian traditional melody that showcases their exotic instruments and versatility of musical style.
"We are very excited to be sharing this music with our campus and our community,” Feerst said. “The addition of Resonar Latino to this concert makes it that much more special. Trust me when I say you do not want to miss this one."
