CORVALLIS - Percussionist Robert Brudvig of the Oregon State University Department of Music will perform a free marimba recital on Thursday, Oct. 30, as part of OSU's Music à la Carte concert series.

The free performance begins at noon in the Memorial Union Lounge. Audience members are welcome to bring lunch.
