Program Notes
The Round Table is a multi-percussion trio that congregates around a shared snare drum. The snare drum serves as the “meeting place” for this musical discussion between performers. Much like any group discussion or meeting of the minds, The Round Table has moments where everyone agrees as well as moments featuring new ideas and conflict.

Performed by Alex McCroby, Chason Jones, and Nick Fields
