Gull Wings would like to THANK Cory Hills for presenting “SPLAT BOOM BANG!” at the Museum on Saturday, May 11^th.  It was such a FUN show!!!  If you missed it, we hope to welcome Cory back again in the near future … stay tuned!

Cory thrives on breaking down artistic barriers through creative, interdisciplinary projects. He has received degrees from Northwestern University, Queensland Conservatorium, and the University of Kansas, and was awarded a research fellowship to Institute Fabrica. Equally comfortable in a concert hall or school gymnasium, Hills blends unique musical styles with storytelling, creating exciting sonic worlds for both children and adults.

Since its inception in 2009, Percussive Storytelling has been presented nearly 250 times to more than 13,000 people throughout the United States, Mexico, Italy, Australia, and China. For this work, Hills has been the recipient of numerous arts grants, and was named the 2009 Emerging Artist for the Kansas Arts Commission, an Artist-in-Residence at Rocky Mountain National Park, and a fellow at the OMI International Artists Colony.

The Lost Bicycle, his debut solo CD of percussive stories, was released in the spring of 2010 and received four national awards: a gold medal from the NAPPA Parent’s Awards, a silver medal from the Parent’s Choice Awards, a World Storytelling Honors Award, and a Preferred Choice from the Creative Child Awards.
