On 27 February as part of the Percussion for Maslenitsa festival, Mariinsky Media will be broadcasting the concert Peter Sadlo and Friends from the Concert Hall online.
The outstanding German percussionist Peter Sadlo is a prize-winner at numerous international competitions, timpanist and percussion leader with the Philharmonie in Munich, a teacher at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich and a professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. The musician has a remarkable career as a soloist, appearing in recitals and with various ensembles. Peter Sadlo is convinced that “rhythm is part of the basic form of expression in music. Our ancestors, who listened to the beating of their hearts, instinctively integrated this primordial pulsation in their lifestyles in terms of acoustics. Even today, in a person’s consciousness rhythm or rhythmics are of fundamental importance, the essence that heralds the melody or the harmony.” The programme includes percussion arrangements of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Mark Glentworth, Iannis Xenakis, Peter Sadlo, Didier Benetti, Kiril Stoyanov, Libor Šíma and Chick Corea.
Mariinsky Media will be broadcasting this concert.
The broadcast begins at 19:00 Moscow Time: mariinsky.tv and mariinsky.fm
