ESS is pleased to present percussionist Tim Daisy in a special solo performance, bringing our Sunday Solo series to a close for the 2008-2009 season. Tim will perform a series of improvisations for solo percussion, each defined by it’s own character and mood. We hope you can join us in the studio this Sunday for superb music in an inviting, intimate setting.
