More about Greg Jukes:
As a member of The Fourth Wall, he explores a new hybrid of the performing arts in which classically-trained instrumentalists are also dancers and actors. The Fourth Wall performs across North America to high praise at Fringe theatre festivals, encourages college students to think outside the box, and teaches grade school students about the science of sound. With Kadence Arts, Greg developed the Beat Bus, an electronic bucket drumming workshop that gets kids around New England excited about music through a mix of technology, movement, and grooves. In the Marimba Cabaret, Greg accompanies and directs singing marimbist, Brian Calhoon in evenings of songs and stories. As a narrator, Greg has introduced thousands of children and families to the wonders of orchestral music with established pieces like “Peter and the Wolf” and shows he has written around works such as Wagner’s “Ring Cycle,” Holst’s “The Planets,” and Copland’s music inspired by the American west. Greg holds a BM in Percussion Performance from the Peabody Conservatory.
