Nexus
Nexus is a Toronto-based percussion ensemble that performs standard percussion ensemble repertoire, ragtime music, world music, contemporary classical music and as a group, has performed as soloist with some of the top orchestras around the world. The ensemble was originally made up of percussionists Bob Becker, Bill Cahn, Robin Engelman, Russell Hartenberger, John Wyre and Michael Craden. Founding member Michael Craden died of liver cancer in 1982. John Wyre died in 2006 and was replaced by long-time professional colleague Garry Kvistad. Robin Engelman resigned from the group in December 2009 due to vision difficulties and died on February 26, 2016. The group formed in 1971 and debuted with a concert of entirely improvised music at the Eastman School of Music. Although the first performance only featured four of the musicians, all six performed together as Nexus shortly after in Walter Hall at the University of Toronto. In the mid-1970s the group recorded two albums with New Age music pioneer Paul Horn: Paul Horn and Nexus and Altura Do Sol. From Wikipedia (
