Since the fall of 2004, concert audiences across the United States have been brought to their
feet by a pairing of musical personalities as improbable and winning as Organized Rhythms
combination of the pipe organ and percussion. British organist Clive Driskill-Smith, trained at
Eton and Oxford, is wry and reserveduntil he lets loose an astonishing battery of effects at
the pipe organs multiple keyboards. He is complemented in Organized Rhythm by the athletic
movement of Joseph Gramley, a physically towering Oregon native whose own crowd-pleasing
solo concerts and work with Yo-Yo Mas Silk Road Ensemble have made him one of the leading
multi-percussionists performing today. This powerful and harmonious duo presents what has
been described as an exciting musical adventure, [offering] startling clear insight into what
makes a live performance good, and why good live performances are important for
us....passion, technical mastery, and precision...two young musicians doing what they clearly
love--making music, not just for themselves, but for us as well." (The Granite State News,
Wolfeboro NH)
The duos concert on April 24 will include Aaron Coplands stirring Fanfare for the Common
Man, J.S. Bachs popular Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring, Morton Goulds American Salute, and the
