@rowanmusicdept recently enjoyed a visit from accomplished musicians Allen Otte and @thatjohnlane, the duo behind the percussion performance work "The Innocents."

Incorporating found objects, African mbiras/kalimbas, electronics, song and spoken word, “The Innocents” aims to evoke awareness and understanding around the issue of wrongful imprisonment in America.

In their time on campus, the duo conducted a series of masterclasses on composition, the collaborative process, and percussion performance for Rowan music majors, as well as a workshop for sociology students on art as advocacy.

The visit was coordinated by Rowan Head of Percussion @oliveira_fabiof.
