2010 - Percussion Galore at Round Top
The Percussion Festival at Round Top, (Texas) is an annual music festival dedicated to the performance of contemporary works for percussion.
Each year the festival features works performed/composed by solo performers, chamber percussion groups, and composers. Recent participants include: So Percussion, Third Coast Percussion, Meehan/Perkins Duo, Thomas Burritt, Paul Lansky, and Dan Welcher.
We are being welcomed by the Alabama-Coushatta tribe at their wonderful campground near Livingston, TX. It is located off US-190E, about 70 miles (from downtown) north of Houston (via I-59). As always we will be occupying the Section D. Amenities include: public bathrooms and showers, Laundromat is within 3 minute drive, fire rings and charcoal grills, water, also volleyball field, covered pavilion and a playground next to the beautiful lake in the pine forest.
KSP-South is a group of enthusiastic people that organizes biannual gatherings called Slyots (literally translated as “fly-ins”) and helps unite all Russian-speaking people who enjoy the Russian style of camping.
KSP in translation stands for the Club of Amateur Song. These songs are usually written by average people about their ordinary lives, yet the simple human experience of each song is translated into a powerful message of wisdom and truth, about the value of friendship, family, and love.
Slyots of KSP-South are held twice a year, and organizers try very hard to make everyone feel welcome, even those whose song selection varies slightly from the traditional KSP style. By bringing together the Russian speaking community, KSP-South not only allows them to experience their culture, but also expose their spouses, children and friends to this beautiful Russian tradition.
