Join us in celebrating headlining ensemble Third Coast Percussion in Portland next June!
“We are so thrilled to be a part of New Music Gathering 2020,” says Third Coast Percussion, “especially with this new project from composer Danny Clay, which is designed to bring a community of musicians together for a one-of-a-kind performance. It's going to be a lot of fun both for the NMG participants, and for the community of music-lovers and audience members in Portland.”
Third Coast Percussion is a Grammy Award-winning Chicago-based percussion quartet. For fifteen years, the ensemble has created exciting and unexpected performances that constantly redefine the classical music experience. The ensemble has been praised for “commandingly elegant” (New York Times) performances, the “rare power” (Washington Post) of their recordings, and “an inspirational sense of fun and curiosity” (Minnesota Star-Tribune). Third Coast Percussion maintains a busy tour schedule, with past performances in 33 of the 50 states plus international tour dates on 4 continents. Third Coast Percussion has commissioned and premiered over 60 new works by composers including Philip Glass, Augusta Read Thomas, David T. Little, and Devonté Hynes.

join us in celebrating headlining ensemble Flutronix in Portland next June!
Flutronix is Nathalie Joachim and Allison Loggins-Hull, two distinguished flutists and composers known for their “unique blend of classical music, hip-hop, electronic programming and soulful vocals reminiscent of neo-R&B stars like Erykah Badu.” (The Wall Street Journal) Founded in Brooklyn, NY, the urban art pop duo have evolved as influential creators and socially conscious changemakers. Their forthcoming work, Discourse, is an evening-length community-centered performance activism initiative commissioned by Carolina Performing Arts. Flutronix independently publishes their extensive catalog of chamber works, and are dedicated educators, holding appointments at Montclair State University, Carnegie Hall and The Perlman Music Program.
