Bring the family and enjoy a Sunday evening of musical compositions featuring Houston area students on snare drums, tenor drums, bass drums, trash cans and closet rods.
Percussion One (P1), a diverse group of musicians and percussionists and P1-13, the expansion of P1 featuring junior high and middle school percussionists, perform under the direction of Lamar Burkhalter, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Percussion One Foundation.
