The Vail Series presents Third Coast Percussion - ‘Metamorphosis’

“One of 2023’s most inspiring cultural events” - Chicago Tribune GRAMMY® Award-winning and Denison’s own Ensemble-in-Residence, Third Coast Percussion, joins forces with the groundbreaking choreography of Movement Art Is (Lil Buck and Jon Boogz), performed and interpreted by Cameron Murphy and Ron Myles, for an intimate, evening program that is both intensely personal and fiercely virtuosic. Two disparate styles of street dance blend seamlessly with “Perspective” by Jlin (2023 Pulitzer Prize-finalist) plus music by Tyondai Braxton and Philip Glass.

The Vail Series was endowed in 1979 by a generous gift from the late Mary and Foster McGaw in honor of Jeanne Vail, class of 1946. Just as it was intended to do, the Series enriches the artistic experience of the entire Denison community. Programmed creatively with the mindful pursuit of learning across traditional academic boundaries, more than 100 individual Vail Series artists have found their way to Denison’s classrooms and stages, but that doesn’t include the dozens of ensembles or full symphony orchestras that have played here over the years.
