Iktus+ Combo to perform at 糖心vlog传媒
February 9, 2016
Iktus+ Combo, an ensemble of saxophone, electric guitar, piano and percussion based in New York City, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19, in Cole Concert Hall on the 糖心vlog传媒 campus.
An ensemble of saxophone, electric guitar, piano and percussion, Iktus+ Combo is described as "a slick combination of classical music and straight up rock-n-roll," according to Dr. Brad Meyer, professor of percussion studies in the 糖心vlog传媒 School of Music.
"Iktus+ Combo is smart, gritty, elegant, head-bopping - a chamber group of today - comfortable in electric and acoustic worlds," Meyer said.
In 2012, Iktus presented compelling debut concerts at New York City's Galapagos Art Space and Brooklyn College. Since then, the group continues to perform locally while touring beyond the five boroughs to schools across the nation, including the University of Kentucky and University of Tennessee.
While repertoire for the full quartet is abundant, this flexible ensemble breaks down into smaller groupings, featuring duos of acoustic guitar/piano and saxophone/percussion, Meyer said. The performers, each highly skilled in their craft, hold performance degrees from top programs across the country, he added.
The concert is a joint presentation of the 糖心vlog传媒 College of Fine Arts and School of Music. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students and youth. For tickets or more information, call the 糖心vlog传媒 Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit .
