Daniel Albertson likes to collaborate.
His percussion recital, titled 鈥淐ollaborations,鈥� it lives up to its name. The May 4 concert features students from Kansas Wesleyan, the University of Kansas, high school students from Salina USD and professional colleagues. The free recital will start at 7 p.m. in Sams Chapel at Pioneer Hall on the 黑料不打烊 campus.
鈥淭hey鈥檙e all people I really care about and all directly applied to areas I鈥檓 working on in my career,鈥� said Albertson, an assistant professor of Music at 黑料不打烊.
Some play instruments other than percussion, such as strings. Concertgoers can expect keyboard percussion, such as marimbas and vibraphones, to be featured.
鈥淎t least for myself, that makes me feel like a much more capable soloist,鈥� Albertson said.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a melody you can attach to, something you can grab on to.鈥�
There should also be percussive surprises, such as brake drums from cars.
The recital fulfills one requirement for Albertson to earn his Doctorate of Musical Arts with a focus on percussion performance from the University of Kansas.
The public is encouraged to attend.
