Chamber Brews: Percussive

Join Chamber Brews and Brothers Drake Meadery for our mid-summer concert, Percussive. We will explore the rhythmic and timbral capacity of string instruments, featuring two world-premier performances commissioned from local Columbus-area composers Joe Krygier and Eli Chambers. In typical Chamber Brews fashion, we will share insights into our rehearsal and performance process, as well as the commissioning and compositional process. Meet living, breathing, local composers! :O

Joseph Krygier, With a specialty in the fusing of multiple styles and cultures, percussionist and composer Joseph Krygier wields his background in classical, world, commercial and electronic music to forge a sound that is uniquely his own. As a composer Krygier has produced a diverse body of music for solo and chamber settings, including contemporary dance — each work defying categorization. Krygier has also served in the academic realm as a lecturer and dance accompanist holding positions at The Ohio State University School of Music, OSU Department of Dance, Ohio Wesleyan University, BalletMet Dance Academy and Interlochen Center for the Arts Summer Camp.

Krygier received his undergraduate degree in percussion performance from the Eastman School of Music and his Masters degree from Northwestern University.

He has composed original works for The Ohio University Wind Symphony, Otterbein Wind Ensemble, percussion collective Triangulus, solo works for percussion, electric bass, alto saxophone, and piano, and now for Chamber Brews! He has presented original compositions at the West Fork New Music Festival, Electroacoustic Barn Dance, and Georgia Institute of Technology’s Margaret Guthman New Instrument Competition.
