The Ohio Northern University Percussion Ensemble will present its spring concert at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19 in Presser Hall. The concert is free and open to the public.  

This concert is sure to be a crowd pleaser, with high-energy music, driving drumbeats and unique compositions. 

Adam Grim, a senior music education and music composition double major from Lima, will be featured in a virtuosic steel-drum concerto by world-famous steel-drum performer and composer Liam Teague. Grim also will be one of the soloists on Brazilian composer Ney Rosauro’s “Concerto for Marimba.” 

Christian Livengood, a fifth-year pharmacy major from Norwalk, is the other soloist on the marimba concerto.

Other pieces include “Woodwork” for four marimbas and cajon, “Fanfare for Tambourines,” “Trio Per Uno,” and a drum-set trio composed by Grim.
