Welcome back to the 20th Century Music Concert Series, organized by Maestoso, Inspirito School of Music and Goethe Institut Hanoi. The 20th Century Music Concert Series has surpassed the 10-program milestone to program number 11. This is a very special concert program because for the first time the entire concert length will be dedicated only to the percussion.
“Irrer Klang“ – the German title of the performance means "insane sound" and will certainly bring many surprises for those who are passionate about classical and contemporary music.
The world of a percussionist can often be strange and chaotic. Kyle Acuncius has chosen repertoire for this concert to be both visually and aurally stimulating, challenging the audience to experience percussion from a new perspective.
Some of the pieces will blur the lines between music and performance art, while innovative techniques will reveal new timbres on seemingly familiar instruments.
The program has the participation of Kyle Acuncius (Percussion), Chaiyaphat Prempree (Percussion), Hyang Gee Lee (Percussion).
