Percussionists William Moersch in Urbana and Adam Rudolph in Champaign

Drummers and other percussionists usually find themselves at the back of the orchestra or the band, or any other ensemble. On the Wednesday edition of “Live and Local,” percussionists will take front and center. I’ll talk with William Moersch, head of the percussion division at the University of Illinois, about three upcoming events on campus. And we’ll meet Adam Rudolph, a touring world-music percussionist who plays in Champaign Thursday night.
