ST. GEORGE – The Dixie State University Percussion and Jazz Ensembles, both under the direction of DSU Music Department Chair Glenn Webb, will take the stage for a pair of holiday concerts in the Dolores Dore’ Eccles Fine Arts Center Mainstage Theater on the DSU campus this week.
The Percussion Ensemble concert will take place on Tuesday, at 7:30 p.m., and will feature music from Argentina, Australia, Mexico, Uganda and the United States.

The troupe, which will be joined on stage by DSU’s Faculty Jazz Combo, will also play selections from jazz artists such as Michael Buble, Thelonius Monk, and Oliver Nelson.
