Call Street Percussion - Mallet Quartet by Steve Reich

Описание: Call Street Percussion
Ashlee Allaire, Connor Yeackley, Ross Hussong, and Sammy DeAngelis
Audio Engineer: Zach Binder

This is our first video and we're very excited to share it with you. We recorded over a short time frame and just tried to have fun! This was the first piece that we performed as a quartet and thought it would be fitting that it would be the first piece we recorded and released.

Thanks to all the people that helped make this video possible with our extremely low budget. The Yeackley family for letting us rehearse and record over the span of three days in their living room. To Zach, who drove 8 hours with recording equipment to come record us and to Dr. Parks and the FSU studio members who let us borrow instruments and mallets, especially Abby, Dell, Alyssa, Justin, Ryan, Mike, and Chris.

Call Street Percussion is made up of Ashlee Allaire, Sammy DeAngelis, Ross Hussong and Connor Yeackley. The four of us met during our undergraduate studies at Florida State University. Since graduation, we’ve stayed committed to performing together and aspire to help cultivate the next generation of chamber percussion playing. Currently, we’re all pursuing master's degrees in percussion at Northwestern University, Eastman School of Music, New England Conservatory, and San Francisco Conservatory, respectively. For all of us, one of the best parts of being in a quartet is making music with our best friends.
