Concert at Eastman School of Music
African Drumming and Indian Percussion
I would like to elaborate about the concert at the most elite music school of the country. Firstly, the Indian percussion at the Eastman school of Music was soothing. The African drumming was loud but interesting.
The Indian percussion instruments included the drums known as tabla, dholak in their native language, hindi and the cymbals. The coordination was mind-blowing and the kids still in their high schools were talented.
The African drumming was interesting as how the artists performed. It was surprising to know that the drums can be played so loud. It was also exciting to know how the artists played with so much interest and effort.
I think that the concert was one of the best activities or one of the best places we have seen until now in Rochester.
I really like your description of the drum experience. I wonder if you could say more about the photos you post here? I think readers might be interested in learning more about what they are looking at specifically, for instance, why does the first photo have 7 musicians while the next only 4? How long was the performance? Did you have an opportunity to speak with the performers? How do you know that they are in high school?
