ITHACA COLLEGE PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE
Conrad Alexander, director
Clara Warnaar, director
This evening’s Percussion Ensemble concert celebrates the joyous world of xylophone rags. Popularized during the ragtime craze ignited by composers like Scott Joplin and George Hamilton Greene, this vibrant style found a dazzling voice in the xylophone, which rose from novelty percussion to a true virtuoso instrument on vaudeville stages nationwide. The Ithaca Percussion Ensemble performers have reignited the genre by mastering these intricate showpieces, and sharing them with you tonight.
