The Oratorio Chorale explores the two most primitive musical sounds — the human voice and the drum — from a modern musical perspective in “Bang! Music for Choir and Percussion.”

Works to be performed include those by Dominick Argento, Peter Klatzow and Timothy Takach; with percussion solos by Nate Tucker and Jonathan Hess.

The chorale's first choir and percussion concert is in Portland on Friday, June 5 at 7:30 p.m. at Woodford Congregationalist Church at 202 Woodford Street.

On Saturday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. the performance will be in Brunswick at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 15 Pleasant Street.

Advance ticket prices are $20/adults and $10 students. At the door ticket prices increase to $25/adults and $12.50/students. Children under 12 are admitted free, but tickets are still required for seating.
