"Impressive solo percussion performances framed the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble's concerts on Friday and Saturday at City Theatre, South Side.

"David Skidmore's energy, versatility and hand independence brought "Rebonds" by Iannis Xenakis to life to open a program devoted to "The Traveler". "?Corporel" by Vinko Globukar was the harrowing conclusion to the journey, a piece of performance art in which the perfromer uses body percussion to portray a tortured soul. I winced when Skidmore hit his skull with his knuckes so loudly the sound was clear 75 feet away." - Mark Kanny
