Explore Drumming Around the World at Tryon Fine Arts Center
World-class percussionist River Guerguerian said, “Music is an attempt to arrange sounds and silences.” And that is what River will do at the Tryon Fine Arts Center on Thursday, April 22 at the series finale, Explore the Arts, as we “Explore Drumming Around the World.” River has been inspiring audiences with arrangements of sounds and silences for percussion for over 25 years.
Joining River for an evening of percussive sounds is John Vorus, whose fascination with the didgeridoo began when a friend showed him the basic drones and how to make a didje out of PVC pipe. The sounds are expressive, organic and mesmerizing. John has mastered the technique of circular breathing that makes the complex sound possible. John's respect for this ancient instrument and for the aboriginal people of Australia as they persevere to keep their ageless culture alive with the mesmerizing vibrations of the didjeridoo has led him to the concert stage.
Don't miss a chance to attend Explore Drumming Around the World with River Guerguerian and John Vorus on Thursday, April 22 from 6:30 to 8:30. Refreshments will be served prior to the performance. Tickets are sold at the door only, with no reserved seating: adults, $7.00 and students, $4.00. For further information call TFAC at 828-859-8322.
