RCS Timpani and Percussion

Thanks to Eric Sammut, visiting marimba consultant and International Fellow to the RCS, for preparing and leading the RCS percussion students in a fabulous Fridays at One concert of percussion music.

With music ranging from Mozart to Genesis the concert included the large ensemble, quartet and also solo performances from Eric and 4th year student Scott Vassie.
Well done everyone.

Tonight, 1930!

RCS Associate Artist Colin Currie performs with the RCS percussion students, music by Steve Reich and two new RCS student compositions. A brilliant selection of percussion music.
