Featured percussion artists are John Marshall, Mark Ingram, Andrew Parker, Randy Steward, and Rick Quintanal.
Five professional percussionists have joined forces and have formed an exciting new percussion quintet known as Terra Coda. Members of the ensemble are best known for their individual interpretation and mastery of various global drumming traditions. Their well respected careers in the world of percussion are varied and diverse, from the symphony hall to the classroom, from the recording studio to the international stage, from the healing workshop to the prestigious music festival.
A Terra Coda presentation features both melody and rhythm, all performed on beautiful, hand made traditional instruments that capture the pulse of the Middle East, West Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, India and beyond. Educational, virtuosic, and exciting, Terra Coda concerts and workshops capture the enthusiasm of every audience, and each show incorporates volunteers to join the group on stage. School Administrator Robert Brenner who recently arranged to have Terra Coda perform for his school community summed up the energy of Terra Coda's concert stating ” the program drew a full house of adults and students totally mesmerized by the performance! Some audience members were invited and thrilled to participate on stage and there was a standing ovation that was powerfully memorable.”
