A Denison Greeting from Grammy-winning Third Coast Percussion

One of Denison’s Ensembles-in-Residence, Third Coast Percussion, sends a greeting to our Denison family with One Concession to Glee.

TCP is a Grammy award-winning, artists-run quartet of classically-trained percussionists hailing from the great city of Chicago. You may remember TCP from the Granville Candlelight Tour, providing live music with our Dance Department in No Single Perspective, performing in conjunction with a Poetry reading from our Boegart Series, Master Classes, and other residency activities. Visit their website and follow on social media for Facebook live performances.

Shared by Arts@Denison:

Until we can be together physically, Arts@Denison is sharing weekly greetings, profiles, and performances to keep us connected through the fine arts. In the coming weeks we will celebrate the artistry of our students, faculty, staff, alums, and visiting artists. They will demonstrate the love, resilience, and creativity of Denison-connected artists and the power of the arts and our artists. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more arts from our Denison community.
