Part of the Steven Schick Residency

In this performance Steven Schick reflects on the rich history of contemporary music at the University of Iowa. Alongside this rumination, he'll play virtuosic solo percussion pieces that received early and important performances here in Iowa City.

The legacy of contemporary music at the University of Iowa is a rich one. Reflections on that past and on the history dating from the 1970’s—of the University of Iowa Percussion Department and the Center for New Music—will surround performances of percussion solos closely associated with Schick’s practice.
