Dr. Josh Graham, a percussionist praised as "beguiling" by the Chicago Tribune, will perform several recently commissioned works for solo marimba.
The pieces, by composers including Katherine Pukinskis, Griffin Candey, and Michael Conrad, draw their inspiration from works of literature, including Ernest Hemingway's "The Nick Adams Stories," the poetry of Iowan James Hearst, and Psalm 139.
