The workshop, like Saturday's concert, will take place in the theater at the Mildred E. Bastian Performing Arts Center, 5600 Oakland Ave on the SLCC-FP campus. Here's the description sent out by New Music Circle, which is co-sponsoring Robair's St. Louis sojourn:
“Join renowned percussionist Gino Robair for a unique and free workshop! Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the use of extended percussion techniques and structured improvisation. Attendees will explore a variety of group improvisation strategies developed by John Zorn, Butch Morris, and the ROVA Saxophone Quartet including the use of hand cues, developing collage form, and creating/using graphic scores."Robair also will appear live today on KDHX (88.1 FM) to do an interview and solo performance on bobEE sweet's program “Uncontrollable Urge," which is broadcast from 10:00 am to noon.
Last but not least, I see that the charming, urbane and perspicacious Stefene Russell of St. Louis magazine has done a Robair-related entry on her Look/Listen blog, which you can check out here.
