Percussion Quartet will give the next performance of the Washington College
Music Department’s “12@Hotchkiss” lunchtime concert series on Friday, October

metropolitan area.
Sandbox
Percussion is comprised of Garret Arney, Victor Caccese, Ian Rosenbaum, and
Adam Rosenblatt, classically trained musicians who studied at the Peabody
Conservatory and the Yale School of Music. They bring a youthful energy to their
performances, which range from traditional percussion works to
experimental improvisations and new music. The quartet took part in the Summer 2012
Norfolk New Music Workshop in Norfolk, Conn., and made its New York City
debut at the St. John’s Episcopal Church Concerts on the Slope series, earning
an invitation to be the ensemble-in-residence for the Fall 2013 season. The
quartet was a finalist in the New England Chamber Music Competition, held in
Boston.
The October 5 performance at Washington College will feature the work of composers
Steve Reich, Jason Treuting and Paul Lansky.
Hotchkiss Recital Hall is located in the
Gibson Center for the Arts at Washington College, 300 Washington Avenue. For
