“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 James Woods’ Rogośānti – the mysticism and transcendent soundscape will surely captivate you.”

– Michael Yeung
