SUMMARY:FMU Percussion Ensemble Performance
DESCRIPTION:FMU Percussion Ensemble\nDr. Brian Jones\, director\nFMU Department of Fine Arts\nBlackbox Theatre\, Performing Arts Center/Downtown Florence\n7:30 pm Wednesday\, November 12\, 2025\nThe Francis Marion University Percussion Ensemble is a contemporary chamber ensemble that explores the world of percussion from an improvisation-based approach. We model our performance methodology and musical ideology on the performance practice of drummer/composer Max Roach’s percussion ensemble M’Boom\, especially in their focus on jazz and non-Western musical cultures as a touchstone for aesthetic inspiration. We employ improvisation as a key mode of praxis—both in terms of theory and practice—and special focus is given to compositions invented during collective improvisation exercises. Additionally\, we explore “minimalism\,” “game\,” and “open score” notation/compositional systems\, while also examining the ways in which poetry and literature can be interpreted in a musical setting. \nTickets are available to FMU students\, faculty\, and staff at no charge upon showing an FMU ID. Tickets to the general public are $10\, as space allows. The FMU PAC Ticket Office is located at 201 South Dargan Street and is open Monday through Friday\, 12:00pm – 5:00pm\, or by calling 843-661-4444.
