About the event

Von Hansen: "Music is the Best"
Experience the electrifying "Music is the Best" multimedia concert featuring percussionist Von Hansen at the University of Wyoming on Monday, September 22.
"Music is the Best" is a heartfelt tribute to Hansen’s father, who introduced Hansen to the boundary-pushing work of musician Frank Zappa. Using Zappa's legacy as a narrative bridge, Hansen takes the audience on a journey through his musical identity and the development of his own distinct style as a composer and performer. The program features the titular track from Hansen's debut album, “Mortal Coil,” which was written in honor of his father.
Hansen is a performer, composer, and multi-media artist who seeks to bring joy and thought through engaging musical experiences. His musical style is a synthesis of the hip-hop, jazz, rock, and electronic music melded with minimalism and experimental music. Using drums, percussion, and computer processing, Hansen creates music that grooves hard in unusual beats.
Also a faculty member at Washburn University, Hansen is committed to increasing educational opportunities for percussionists and is active with the Percussive Arts Society. He has presented concerts and masterclasses at various universities and conferences including The Percussive Arts Society International Convention, Electronic Music Midwest, The Kansas City Electronic Music Alliance, The Kansas and Oklahoma Days of Percussion, The National Conference on Percussion Pedagogy and SEAMUS.
