A unique opportunity to advance the percussive arts across Canada
The Canadian percussion Network connects percussionists across the country interested in building bridges between percussion research and performance. We hosted our first in-person event at McMaster in April of 2022, in conjunction with the Ontario Chapter of the Percussive Arts Society. Titled The Space Between, that event brought together dozens of percussionists from five provinces as well as several from the US.
We are pleased to present our next in-person event, The Space Between 2024 at McGill University (QC) on January 25-27, 2024. Similar to our previous gathering, this event will feature lectures, demonstrations, performances, and research posters. Organized in collaboration with the Quebec Chapter of the Percussive Arts Society/Day of Percussion 2024, this event is open to all percussionists from Canada and abroad. Thanks to a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant (PDG), this event will be free of charge to all participants. The Space Between 2024 will bring together perspectives from both research-creation (i.e., new works for percussion, different approaches to performance) and percussion-focused research (i.e., examining percussionists’ gestures, analyzing percussion acoustics). We aim to explore the “space between” these typically siloed efforts, to build new connections and benefit from a wider range of perspectives and expertise related to the ever-growing world of percussion.
