| Get ready
for an explosion on the chamber music scene! Collide is a progressive
Contemporary music ensemble ripe to take the world by storm. Their
sound pulls from a variety of cultures featuring original music
by the group's members and commissioned works by young composers
from various ethnic backgrounds. The group aims to use their instruments
in conventional and unconventional ways and also creates new instruments
from found objects. Collide is poised to shake up the Classical
world while making a mark on the younger MTV generation. The eclectic
trio consists of Jade Simmons on piano, virtuoso percussionist David
Skidmore and highly imaginative saxophonist Jonathan Sanford. All
three are graduates of Northwestern University’s School of
Music where they were directors of Boomshaka, a Chicago-based percussion
and dance ensemble co-founded by Simmons. |
