Radical Rhythms Reunited: Featuring Al Otte ’72, Garry Kvistad ’71, and Ross Karre ’05

This performance bridges over five decades of avant-garde musical innovation and unites legendary Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame alumni Allen Otte '72 and Garry Kvistad '71 with current Associate Professor of Percussion Ross Karre '05 and the award-winning Oberlin Percussion Group. "Bringing Al and Garry back to campus during the reunion weekend is a profound moment for our studio," says Ross Karre. "Their work laid the foundation for what contemporary percussion performance is today. To have our current students collaborate with these pioneers shows the unbroken chain of curiosity and excellence that defines Oberlin."
