Susie Ibarra at The TANK this month

RANGELY | Coming to the TANK for a residency in September is sound-sculptor and percussionist Susie Ibarra, who will present her work in an extraordinary concert. The New York Times notes that her compositions are capable of “calling up the movements of the human body; elsewhere it’s a landscape vanishing in the last light, or the path a waterway might trace.” Modern Drummer Magazine says her sound is “like no other’s, incorporating the unique percussion and musical approach of her Filipino heritage with her flowing jazz drumset style.” 2020 National Geographic Explorer Storyteller, 2019 Doris Duke United States Artist Fellow in Music, a Senior TED Fellow and a 2019 Asian Cultural Council Research Fellow — Susie Ibarra performing in the TANK will be an exquisite experience. Tickets: Inside $25, Outside $10. Purchase tickets for Susie Ibarra at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/5416366.
