Percussion Concert

The Royal Academy of Music Aarhus’ Percussion Group (RAMA Percussion) invites you to an electrifying evening of rhythm and resonance.

Dive into a mesmerizing soundscape with us as we bring you Minoru Miki’s “Marimba Spiritual,” a visceral piece that pulses with energy and intensity in the hands of the soloist Tudor Ciobanu. Brace yourself for the explosive masterpiece “Ionisation” by Edgard Varèse, where RAMApercussion is joined by guest musicians to bring this pioneering work to life, sending waves of sound across the room. Experience the complex textures of Aurél HOLLÓ: José / beFORe JOHN55 and the haunting beauty of Alyssa Weinberg’s “Ember II”—pieces that push the boundaries of percussion and redefine the role of rhythm in music.

Prepare for an evening that’s as immersive as it is exhilarating. This isn’t just a concert; it’s an exploration of sound, skill, and spirit. Don’t miss it!
