Percussion Group Cincinnati performs here Thursday

Tickets are still available for the next performance in the 2010-11 Bluffton University Artist Series, by Percussion Group Cincinnati at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 21, in Yoder Recital Hall.

The three-member group has awakened concert audiences to a wider world of music since 1979, using everything from amplified cactus needles, newspapers and garbage cans to the traditional sounds of drums, cymbals and bells from around the world.

Allen Otte, James Culley and Russell Burge comprise PGC, which is ensemble-in-residence at the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music and has performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for senior citizens and students. They can be purchased on the Web, at http://tickets.bluffton.edu, or by contacting the university box office at 419-358-3239 or [email protected].
