Jordan Glenn’s BEAK is a percussion heavy ensemble the blurs the line between dynamic/energetic grooves and chaos. The power of this electric ensemble is wheeled by Glenn’s curious baton, moving in and out of composed and spontaneous material. For this performance, they will be performing an arrangement of Glenn's 2010 suite "Mama Long Legs".
