“The illusion of magic is an idealistic fantasy;
it exists only in the imagination of the spectator.”

IMPACT Percussion is proud to announce its 2023 program: In Plain Sight

Exploring a world where things aren’t always as they seem, In Plain Sight takes audiences on a visual and musical journey that challenges the reality of what’s right in front of you. Using different patterns, perspectives, colors, and audio landscapes, viewers will experience a program full of mystery, illusion, and surprise.

The show features original music from Matt Hahn and Eliud Ayala, and arrangements of:

  • “Hide and Seek” by Imogen Heap
