Californian-born Justin DeHart likes to play rock - actual rocks. Also wooden rulers and tin cans, with his Grammy-nominated chamber music quartet the Los Angeles Percussion Quartet  - LAPQ.  With over 60 different percussion instruments at their disposal from around the world, including drums, marimbas, conch shells, cricket callers, and a lion's roar. LAPQ is playing the Great Hall at Christchurch's Arts Centre tonight. Justin has also performed with the San Diego symphony orchestra, Chinese pipa master Wu Man and 70s and 80s American rock band Cheap Trick. Justin won't be going very far for this concert, he's made Christchurch home.
