Empyrean Ensemble Debuts Works By Melinda Wagner February 3, 2015 (San Francisco Classical Voice)
The second gem of the evening was composer Dan
VanHassel’s fzzl, written for snare drum with
transducer. Percussionist Megan Shieh was a dynamic presence in
a work informed by African drumming. Van Hassel’s score makes
ample use of all sides of the snare drum.
