Percussionisti della Scala

Marimbas, vibraphones, glockenspiels, bells—alongside bass drums, snare drums, tom-toms, and bongos. The percussionists of Teatro alla Scala arrive in Spoleto surrounded by an astonishing array of instruments. With percussion, anything can become music: the wooden blocks that bring Steve Reich’s masterpiece to life, the restless waters of South American rivers evoked in Philip Glass’s Águas da Amazônia, and the Children’s Songs from Chick Corea’s iconic album, reimagined in a striking arrangement for percussion ensemble.
