Mentored by Tom Goldstein at UMBC, Hi Tom Ensemble specializes in new music, theater percussion, and improv. On this program they present a unique combination of two pieces: "Indeterminacy" by John Cage performed simultaneously with "Creative Construction Set" by George Lewis. These pieces show Hi Tom's influences, and their fusion creates new opportunities in the world of avant-garde percussion music.
