Last time I’ll likely play pan for a good long while. Maybe I’ll get one 🤔

I do not own the rights to any of this music, all rights belong to their respective owners.

We had our annual NAU Percussion & Interference Series Collaborative Concert last Monday April 20th, which featured performances by the percussion studio and trio Parallel Play, along with a percussion quartet performing their own piece titled:
“A fish questioned me,
No Alexis or Abby,
I guess I’ll ask Seth”

🫶Thank you to Interference Series co-artistic directors @owen_davis_music928 and Rob Wallace for their inspiring collaboration and support!
