Vermont Symphony Orchestra Percussion Trio

Today we had a special assembly at school because UMS had a visit from part of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra! A percussion trio from the VSO taught us about many different percussion instruments and played several short pieces from around the world using these different instruments! We heard percussion music from Africa, the middle east, China, and South America as well as a piece using percussion instruments we are used to seeing in American marching bands. The performance was great and we learned many interesting things about percussion instruments used around the world!
