Touch is the University of South Florida s iPad Quintet. The group, made up of music education 

faculty and PhD students from the School of Music, formed two years ago shortly after the release of 

the first iPad. Touch is a live performance ensemble that plays a wide variety of music from across 

musical styles including rock, rap and classical, as well as original music composed specifically for the 

ensemble. This concert will feature collaborations with students and faculty from across campus and 

will include dance, theater, poetry and video. A Touch concert is a multimedia experience of sound, 

light, and motion where the audience plays an important role, and where anything is possible! Make 

sure to bring your own iPad or iPhone with any drum app installed so that you can participate in the 

concert! (One very good app is "Percussions" from Crimson Technology, Inc.)
