The Percussion Friends will perform this year in the Wethouder Verheijhal, usually a training venue for topsport games. Don’t underestimate the Olympic capacities of these percussionists, who will perform one of Mauricio Kagel’s most radical and extraordinary work: 'Acustica', taking you to a world full of exotic instruments and almost surreal discoveries.
The instruments for Acustica offer an immense scale of sound sources; folk instruments from all over the world as well as from different periods of time in history, next to a wide range of devices that are built by Kagel himself. This work can be considered as the theatrical bridge between artist, musician, actor, and their audience, aptly performed on an enticing venue.
Percussion Friends Chamber Music Academy [20-28 August] is a combination of masterclasses, private lessons and concerts by the international top in the field of percussion. Annualy PFCMA can boost about 30 participants from over 15 countries worldwide.
