Percussion Ensemble JAMU

ABOUT THE CONCERT 

In a concert featuring exclusively percussion instruments, audiences can expect to experience raw energy through their whole bodies. For this performance, the Percussion Ensemble of the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno and its Artistic Director Martin Opršál present a variety of works for percussion instruments at the Suk Hall. In Bartók’s Allegro barboro, pianist Dominik Gál will show how the composer also regarded the piano a percussion instrument.
