Artist profile: Patrick Roulet brings global music to WWU

Western Washington University welcomes Dan Piccolo, an American drummer, percussionist and composer, for the inaugural concert of the Global Spice World Music Series on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at Western’s Performing Arts Center Concert Hall.

Global Spice is a new concert series created by Patrick Roulet, percussion area coordinator and assistant professor of music at Western, to highlight music that blends Western and non-Western traditions and explores the fusion of world music with contemporary, classical, jazz and popular music styles. Each program will feature a visiting guest performer joined by local artists from Bellingham and elsewhere in the Northwest.
