Programme:
„Percussion
Mallets“ is based on a inter-cultural concert programme, which was
rehearsed in 2003/2004 by the african master of drums Amadou Kienou
and Roland Härdtner. While producing the same-titled cd, the
repertoire and the needed musicians literally „exploded“. This
programme was first perfomed at the cd presentation concert with 19
instrumentalist and three dancers. In the meantime there is a reduced
version with 5 – 8 musicians, where Roland Härdtner and Amadou
Kienou are accompanied by the „Swinging Mallets Trio“ with Boris
Ritter and selected percussionists. In addition, it is also possible
to enrich this programme with african dance and singing!
Therefore
„Percussion Mallets“ is a highly flexible and charismatic concert
programme with best entertainment on an extraordinary high musical
level which can be adapted accordingly to the event's budget.
