The Boston-based ensemble Cordis will perform at Music at Noon: The Logan Series at Penn State Behrend on Thursday, Nov. 3. The program, which begins at noon in McGarvey Commons, in the Reed Union Building, is free and open to the public.

Cordis performs with custom-made instruments, from an electric mbira to a cylinder-driven music box. The group has performed on National Public Radio, the British Broadcasting Corporation and Public Radio International.

For this performance, Cordis will use newly developed water instruments. The music will feature the ensemble’s “Condition Blue.”
