Christoph Sietzen, percussion

The first half of Christoph Sietzen’s recital is a solo affair. He is then joined in the second half by his marimba ensemble Wave Quartet, who will be performing works ranging from the baroque era to rock.

Percussion concerts often feature a number of works originally written for other instruments. This programme includes arrangements of compositions by Bach, pieces by the king of Tango Nuevo Astor Piazzolla and songs by American pop sensation Josh Groban. Sietzen juxtaposes these pieces with original works by composers such as Iannis Xenakis and Stewart Copeland, best known as the drummer in the legendary rock band »The Police«.
