“It is my mission to share the percussive arts with the world! On my debut program, I begin with a collection of keyboard works arranged for marimba and vibraphone, before jumping into the vast percussion sound palette and musical canon. I am the most excited about the penultimate piece, ‘Le corps a corps’ – Georges Aperghis’ blending of musical theatre and performance art will surely captivate you.”

– Michael Yeung
