The Center for Advanced Musical Studies | Chosen Vale
After being inspired by so many musical minds, Chase wanted to begin a project that would not only impact the percussion and musical communities, but that could be a catalyst for greater change. Chase Banks roomed with Andrew Patzig, who would then go on to write "A Castle in the Air," one of the first pieces GVP commissioned.
