About this Concert:

Compose. Perform. Inspire. New Voices in Percussion Music

In the spring of 2011 Maria and Jake initiated this commissioning project using a crowd-funding platform called Kickstarter. They contacted four young composers who each have a unique compositional style and forward thinking approach to new percussion music. Supporters from around the world donated between $5 and $1000 to the project and received awards correlated with Maria and Jake's career. The duo reached their funding goal in May after advertising relentlessly through Facebook and numerous other media outlets. The money raised went directly to the four composers, and the creative process was put into motion. Casey, Dave, Baljinder, and David spent the summer writing their pieces while the duo eagerly anticipated the opportunity to discover what each composer would create. Then, Maria and Jake spent four weeks working to bring this music, along with Csaba's and their own, to life.

Special thanks to the fantastic production team (all names are listed at the end of the video!)
