Sunday concert at Crane school in Potsdam will feature percussion, electronic music and a dance collaboration

POTSDAM -- Joshua Emanuel, visiting instructor, will headline an upcoming eclectic, interdisciplinary concert, featuring percussion, electronic music and a dance collaboration at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music.

The free performance will be March 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Sara M. Snell Music Theater.

Emanuel will open the recital with "Samsara," a 2012 piece by Crane School of Music composer Jerod Sommerfeldt, who will also take the stage for the performance.

Crane student Alexander Mau will then join Sommerfeldt on electronics for an improvisation piece, alongside Emanuel on percussion.

The recital will continue with the world premiere of "Echo Chamber," a collaborative piece Emanuel composed this year, featuring choreography and a dance performance by SUNY Potsdam dance faculty member Christine Rohde.

"Echo Chamber' explores the range of emotion when being left alone with nothing but the sound of your own voice. The piece focuses on the cycle of emotions that are felt through loneliness, creating patterns of isolation and despair, causing one to continue to hide their feelings behind closed doors," Emanuel said.

Finally, the concert will close with "Prime Ordinals," by Jim Casella.
