About This Performance
Since time immemorial, humans have utilized percussion in ceremonial, sacred, and communal rituals. This pair of concerts focuses on the exotic use of percussion to express extremes.
The extraordinary baritone Thomas Hampson performs selections from George Crumb's percussion-loaded Six American Songbooks, while Tan Dun's Snow in June the solo cello stands as a solitary voice of revolution against a battery of percussion.
