Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche will hold a four night run at the Old Town School of Folk in Chicago from November 4-7, with each night containing its own interactive theme. Opening night will see Kotche demonstrate his different approaches to composition as the drummer discusses composing for classical and percussion groups such as the Kronos Quartet and Third Coast Percussion. A Q&A will follow.

On November 5, participants will create a customized piece of percussion with Kotche by building and playing prepared drumheads and custom playing implements. November 6 will feature more on Kotche’s time behind the drums with Wilco as he goes into detail about creating parts for songs and establishing beats.

The weekend will culminate with a concert performance at the Old Town School of Folk Music’s acoustically acclaimed Maurer Hall on November 7.
