An exciting season ahead!

Hi friends! I’m pleased to say that the performing arts are back in full swing and I have an exciting season ahead. In the 2022-2023 season I will performing in iconic works such as Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess with the NC Opera, and Tchaikowsky’s Sleeping Beauty with the Carolina Ballet. The spring’s lineup will also include the newly premiered opera Omar, composed by Rhiannon Giddens Michael Abel . Be sure to sign up for my newsletter for all my upcoming performances, tips and tricks to improve your playing, and other opportunities for percussionists in the Triangle Area. I hope to see you there!

Live music is back!

Yes, indeed, live music is back! After a long period of time with empty stadiums and empty concert halls, live music is finally starting to come back. I have two outdoor shows this Spring and I hope you can make it to at least one of them. Seasons will be announced soon and more digital products will be on the horizon for KLS Percussion. Also, check out our new cool T-shirts in the Store! Many thanks to Solomon Griffin for her help in the design.

Lastly, if you have not yet signed up for my newsletter, please do so! This is the best place to hear about upcoming performances, current products, and upcoming projects. A newsletter goes out every few months and won’t bombard your inbox. Here is a link to the last one. Be sure to sign up today!

Exciting happenings in new year!

I’m incredibly excited and honored to be a 2021 Artist Grant Recipient from the United Arts Council.

In the coming months I will be generating play-along courses for young and intermediate players. There the student will be able to follow the music on the screen, adjust the tempo, and watch or play with the music as many times as they’d like. This opportunity will help make percussion more accessible to students outside of the classroom in our new virtual world.

Stay tuned here at KLS Percussion and on social media to learn more as it is being developed. And please contact me directly if you are interested in having your class participate in this program!
