SUMMARY:FEEL THE BEAT
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of this rhythm-driven program is Derrick Skye’s 
 Between Suns\, a powerful West African drum concerto that illuminates how 
 African rhythms pulse through classical\, jazz\, and Latin traditions—ec
 hoed in the vibrant energy of Revueltas’ La noche de los Mayas and Gersh
 win’s An American in Paris. Topping it off\, the program will include 
 a show-stopping moment from SCSU’s very own Blue Steel Drumline.\n\nAbou
 t the centerpiece of this program\, Between Suns:\n\nIn Between Suns\, eac
 h movement represents a distinct solar system—an imagined space where rh
 ythm is gravity and the West African drums serve as both traveler and guid
 e. The solo drums and orchestra orbit a central pulse—the “sun”—wi
 th shifting gravitational forces shaping their interactions. The work expl
 ores how rhythm constructs identity\, memory\, and interconnection across 
 time and space. Between Suns draws connections between musical vocabularie
 s from traditions found in Ghana\, Togo\, Mali\, Morocco\, and Senegal\, w
 oven together with instrumentation\, timbres\, and harmonies rooted in Wes
 tern European classical music. Each of these African countries is home to 
 multiple ethnic groups whose histories and musical practices extend across
  national borders.\n\nTicket holders are welcome to join Music Director Pe
 rry So and composer Derrick Skye for a free pre-concert chat from 2-2:30pm
  in the Lyman Center to learn more about this program.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp
