For both your intellect and your inner child, this is a concert to look forward to,” commented Flurry.

This virtuosic round-the-world journey embraces everything from the grooves of Afro-Cuban rhythms to the sublime melancholy of Debussy—a dynamic exploration of the wealth of musical possibilities percussion offers. manos will be accompanied by three members of Banda Latino Caribeña, a popular Latin band from Flagstaff, on a number of dance-worthy pieces as well.

Ferry is a world-class percussion soloist based in Phoenix, dedicated to creating arresting musical experiences for audiences around the world. “There will be more water and unexpected musical pieces included, such as a farce in a café involving water bottles,” added Flurry.
